Description
### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues
### Describe the bug
I am using .net 8 to build one of my APIs.
A controller method declared to return Task> could allow returning a totally different underlying type:
```
[HttpPost]
public async Task>> FindInventory(int inventoryId, int inventoryStatusId)
{
return Ok(new Product());
}
```
This allows code compilation and also no errors during runtimes. Swagger generated indicates that it expects the object to be of type ```List```, however, executing responds with ```Product``` object.
Should this not be a compiler error or atleast a RunTime error?
### Expected Behavior
There should be atleast a compiler error or runtime error for such a controller invocation.
### Steps To Reproduce
_No response_
### Exceptions (if any)
_No response_
### .NET Version
.net 8
### Anything else?
_No response_
