Description

Describe the bug

The deprecated field on OpenAPI operation objects is parsed into the Operation schema model (operation.py#L31), but it is never carried over to the Endpoint dataclass that is passed to Jinja templates (openapi.py#L132-L152).

This means there is no way to check endpoint.deprecated in a custom template to conditionally emit deprecation warnings, docstring annotations, or @deprecated decorators.

The Endpoint dataclass is missing a deprecated: bool field, and the constructor at openapi.py#L419-L427 does not pass data.deprecated through.

Expected behavior

The Endpoint dataclass should include a deprecated: bool = False field, populated from data.deprecated during construction, so that templates can use {% if endpoint.deprecated %} to customize output for deprecated operations.

OpenAPI Spec File

Any spec with a deprecated operation, for example:

paths:
  /example:
    get:
      operationId: getExample
      deprecated: true
      responses:
        '200':
          description: OK

Research direction

Start with the Operation model in openapi_python_client/schema/openapi_schema_pydantic/operation.py and the Endpoint dataclass and constructor in openapi_python_client/parser/openapi.py. Trace how operation data reaches the endpoint passed to Jinja templates, then verify that a deprecated operation exposes endpoint.deprecated and defaults to false when unspecified.
