Description
Hi, it seems there is case collision issue with schema names in typescript generator.
When schema names conflict due to case differences, the generated model file names are suffixed with index,
but the model import and export statements don’t reflect those file names, causing broken references.
I first encountered this with typescript-axios generator, but the issue is reproducible with typescript generator.
I think I found related change https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/pull/19715, and following fix https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/pull/19913 although it is not directly related to typescript.

Generation Details
The schema Modela creates modela0.ts, but the model is not referenced with index-suffixed file name.
// response.ts
import type { ModelA } from './model-a';
import type { Modela } from './modela';
export interface Response {
'upper': ModelA;
'lower': Modela;
}
// index.ts
export * from './model-a';
export * from './modela';
export * from './response';
Steps to reproduce
java -jar "openapi-generator-cli.jar" generate --input-spec ./spec.json --output ./generated --generator-name typescript-axios --additional-properties withSeparateModelsAndApi=true,apiPackage=apis,modelPackage=models

Research direction
Start by running the supplied spec and openapitools.json with the typescript-axios generator, then inspect how the TypeScript generator tracks model filenames and emits imports and exports. The fix is done when case-colliding schemas such as ModelA and Modela generate references to their actual index-suffixed files and the generated output builds successfully.
