Description

"CallResult" : {
"allOf" : [
{"$ref" : "#/components/schemas/GeneralObject"},
]
}

as even it is not possible to use:
"CallResult" : {"$ref" : "#/components/schemas/GeneralObject"}

Tested in context of : "library" set to "okhttp-gson".

It is not possible to realized a case when result could be change or enhanced in future, but you would like to avoid code rewriting as this always generate discriminator even it is known a exact class of response to that it should be deserialized so no discriminator (Type Selector, ...) is needed at all.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the okhttp-gson library and the shown CallResult schema using allOf and a GeneralObject reference. Trace the generator's discriminator handling for this schema and compare it with a direct $ref. Done means the generated response avoids an unnecessary discriminator when its exact class is known, while preserving future extension behavior.
