  prompt: "You are editing an OpenAPI document to satisfy the Spotlight API
    governance rule 'info-version-must-use-semver' (Info Version Must Use

    not a valid version. To fix: Ensure the targeted value matches the regular
    expression `^([0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+)$`; rewrite any value that does not. This
    rule is evaluated at the JSONPath `$.info.version` — 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."
