Description
Describe the bug
default property sibling to a $ref is ignored. OAS 3.1.X relies on JSON Schema 2020-12 which does not include the requirement that sibling properties to $ref should be ignored.

Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: macOS 26.4.1
- Python Version: 3.11.13

Additional context
The previous schema generates code like this:
def _get_kwargs(
*,
body: Object,
default_lost1: str | Unset = UNSET,
default_lost2: str | Unset = UNSET,
default_lost3: str | Unset = UNSET,
default_kept: str | Unset = 'kept',
) -> dict[str, Any]:
I would expect all defaults to be kept.
If anything else is needed I will be more than happy to provide it. Thank you for your time!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the OpenAPI 3.1 specification in the report and inspect the generated _get_kwargs output. Trace how schema defaults are handled for direct $ref siblings, referenced schemas, and allOf wrappers. Done means all four defaults, including component_default, are preserved in the generated client.
