Research direction
Start with the linked reproduction repository and the OpenAPI Generator CLI entry point handling --config/-c, comparing behavior in versions 5.1.0 and 6.0. Reproduce the prompt for a generator name and trace why the configuration file is ignored; done means API client generation uses the supplied configuration without asking for a generator name.
