Bug Report: Redoc UI hangs when using the Stripe OpenAPI Spec
Description
When importing the Stripe OpenAPI specification into Redoc Live Demo, the UI freezes indefinitely:
Steps to Reproduce
- Download the Stripe OpenAPI spec:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stripe/openapi/refs/heads/master/openapi/spec3.yaml - Attempt to "Upload" it via the Redoc UI.
Observed Behavior
The UI becomes unresponsive and never renders the documentation.
