    governance rule 'info-license-require-name' (Info License Require Name).
    Requirement: The license object should include a name property identifying
    the license type, such as Apache 2.0, MIT, or a proprietary license. To fix:
    Ensure `name` is present and non-empty at each matching location. This rule
    is evaluated at the JSONPath `$.info.license` — 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."
