Research direction

Start in openapi_core/validation/response/validators.py at the response data lookup, then inspect schema/responses/models.py and schema/content/models.py where the missing mimetype reaches fnmatch. Reproduce the None-mimetype case and make the resulting failure human-friendly, with a test showing the expected error.
