    document is typically object. To fix: Ensure the targeted value matches the
    regular expression `^object$`; rewrite any value that does not. This rule is
    evaluated at the JSONPath `$.type` — 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."
