  prompt: "You are editing an OpenAPI document to satisfy the Spotlight API
    governance rule 'info-title-max-length' (Info Title Max Length).
    Requirement: Having a limitation on the length of the title for your API
    helps provide constraints for teams naming it, but also keep consistent with
    other APIs from across teams. To fix: Ensure the length of `title` is at
    most 50. 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."
