Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior from the linked gist and the OpenAPI excerpt, focusing on the healthSigns anyOf and animalType oneOf schemas. Trace how these schemas are processed and compare the result with the expected final parse output. Done means both objects are represented correctly in the parse result and the behavior is covered by an appropriate test.

Description

area/schema kind/enhancement kind/missing-implementation

Is the 'anyOf' keyword supported? It doesn't appear to work.
See here for the full spec example.

Following is an excerpt of the relevant part. Notice that the healthSigns and animalType objects do not appear in the final parse result.

      type: object
      x-model: PetCreatePartTwo
      properties:
        position:
          $ref: "#/components/schemas/Position"
        healthy:
          type: boolean
        healthSigns:
          type: array
          items:
