Research direction

Start by generating a client with the minimal OpenAPI model containing an object with additionalProperties: true or {} using csharp and csharp-netcore. Inspect the generated property that is emitted as Dictionary, reproduce the CS0305 compiler error, and confirm that the generated code uses a valid two-argument Dictionary type.
