Research direction

Start by running the documented Java generator command with the provided dash.yaml and inspect the generated src/apis/default_api.rs. Compare the generated format! call with the reported Rust compiler error and trace it back to the Rust generator templates or code that handles path parameter names. Done means the same specification generates Rust code that builds successfully.
