Structure Property Require Type). Requirement: Properties should declare a
type. To fix: Ensure `type` is present and non-empty at each matching
location. This rule is evaluated at the JSONPath `$.properties[*]` — 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 JSON
Structure. Return only the complete corrected document, with no commentary."
