prompt: "You are editing an OpenAPI document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'info-skill-require-version' (Info Require Version).
Requirement: Publishing a version for your OpenAPI technical contract helps
you communicate change with consumers using Semantic or date-based
versioning published to the info version property. To fix: Ensure `version`
is present and non-empty at each matching location. This rule is evaluated
at the JSONPath `$.info` — 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."
