Description

The merged composed model from anyOf / oneOf adds every member's required fields to required. A field is only guaranteed present if every member requires it, so the merged set should be the intersection. Affects every generator that uses CodegenModel.required (Swift, Kotlin, Java POJOs, Dart, etc.).

response:
  anyOf:
    - $ref: '#/components/schemas/VoteResponse'   # required: [status, voteId]
    - $ref: '#/components/schemas/APIError'       # required: [status, reason, code]

Currently the generator marks status, voteId, reason, code all required; only status is. Working on a PR.

Research direction

Start in the composed-model logic that populates CodegenModel.required, then trace how affected generators consume that field. Reproduce the VoteResponse/APIError anyOf example and verify that only fields required by every member remain required across the relevant generated outputs.
