prompt: "You are editing an APIs.json document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'schema-include-version-comparison' (Schema Include Version
Comparison). Requirement: This property ensures that an API has the ability
to compare two different versions of an API and see what the difference are
between them. To fix: Ensure `type` does NOT match the regular expression
`\\b(compare|Compare)\\b`; rename or rewrite any value that does. This rule
is evaluated at the JSONPath `$.apis.*.properties.* | $.common.*` — inspect
every location it matches and correct only what violates the rule. Make the
smallest change that satisfies the rule, leave all unrelated content, key
order, comments, and formatting unchanged, and keep the document valid
APIs.json. Return only the complete corrected document, with no commentary."
