prompt: "You are editing an OpenAPI document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'channel-parameter-require-examples' (Channel Parameter
Require Examples). Requirement: Parameter must have examples. To fix: Ensure
`examples` is present and non-empty at each matching location. This rule is
evaluated at the JSONPath `$.channels.*.parameters.*.schema` — 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
OpenAPI. Return only the complete corrected document, with no commentary."
