Research direction

Start with src/petstore.yaml and the ASP.NET Core generation command, then trace how the nullable array schema becomes the RoleTypes property. Done means nullableReferenceTypes=true generates List? for roleTypes while preserving the shown DataMember attributes; add or run the relevant generator regression coverage if available.
