        }
      }
    }
  }
}

In this example, the property bar in Foo schema is a readOnly property and Foo is referenced by request body of the endpoint.
When Bar schema is changed, it's filtered out from the request body but the change exists in the list of ChangedSchema in ChangedOpenApi, which results incompatible changes but shows nothing.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the Old API and New API examples, focusing on ChangedSchema and ChangedOpenApi results for the readOnly bar property in the request body. Trace how the changed Bar schema is filtered from request-body compatibility checks but remains in ChangedSchema; done means the resulting change list and compatibility output no longer report that filtered change.
