Research direction

Start by locating the OpenAPI 3 Operation Object validation entry point and the handling of requestBody by HTTP method. Check existing validation tests for method-specific behavior, then add coverage showing that requestBody on GET is rejected while the supported methods remain valid.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

kind/bug/confirmed

requestBody should only be allowed on PATCH / POST / PUT methods.

The request body applicable for this operation. The requestBody is only supported in HTTP methods where the HTTP 1.1 specification RFC7231 has explicitly defined semantics for request bodies. In other cases where the HTTP spec is vague, requestBody SHALL be ignored by consumers.
