Description
I have a field in my Java DTO that is of type byte[]. Swagger spec generated for it looks like this:
"responseBody": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string",
"format": "byte"
}
}

Suggest a fix
It looks straightforward - an array of bytes should be mapped to just Base64ByteArray, not List<Base64ByteArray>. Regarding place in the code, probably something around this place: https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/b02fd28ba638a606785c952d1227f15dfd8660bf/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/java/org/openapitools/codegen/languages/KotlinClientCodegen.java#L701

Research direction
Start in modules/openapi-generator/src/main/java/org/openapitools/codegen/languages/KotlinClientCodegen.java around the referenced line, then generate the provided schema with the Kotlin multiplatform library. Confirm how an array of byte-formatted strings is mapped. Done means the generated type is Base64ByteArray rather than List.
