prompt: "You are editing an OpenAPI document to satisfy the Spotlight API
governance rule 'info-version-semantic-and-stable' (Info Version Semantic
And Stable). Requirement: The API contract MUST have a stable version and
MUST follow semantic versioning (e.g., '1.0.0'). Words like 'SNAPSHOT' or
'RELEASE' are not allowed. To fix: Ensure the targeted value matches the
regular expression
`^(?!.*\\b(SNAPSHOT|RELEASE)\\b)(0|[1-9]\\d*)\\.(0|[1-9]\\d*)\\.(0|[1-9]\\d\
*)$`; rewrite any value that does not. This rule is evaluated at the
JSONPath `$.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."
