Description

Maybe I'm missing something but I can't find anything related to it.

I wonder whether it's possible to add some option to make all generated sources as write-protected like e.g. in xjc (see -readOnly flag).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the generator's file-writing entry point and the xjc documentation linked in the issue, since no repository files or tests are named. Define which generated outputs the option covers and how write protection should be verified across generators; the work is done when the option consistently produces write-protected generated sources.
