Research direction

Start with the supplied OpenAPI declaration and run the documented openapi-generator-cli command using the spring generator and spring-boot library. Compare the generated output with the expected enum behavior for the inline array parameter; done means the inline enum is generated and resolved as an enum rather than a plain primitive type.
