Research direction

Start by reproducing the pattern ^(?i)one|two|three$ through the validator and compare its handling with the OpenAPI regex format rules. Investigate how the regex format is checked and whether inline case-insensitive flags are permitted. Done means the validator consistently handles this pattern according to the specification and the reported swagger-editor structural error is addressed.
