    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."
