Problem

OpenApiV31Deserializer.LoadSchema short-circuits on $ref before ParseMap, so JSON Schema 2020-12 keyword siblings ($defs, $dynamicAnchor, $dynamicRef, $id, $schema, $anchor, $vocabulary, $comment) were never parsed into the object model. This made Pattern B (generic template + $dynamicRef binding via sibling $defs) unimplementable for any tool built on Microsoft.OpenApi.

Fixes #2895.

Solution

Mirrors the #2369 annotation-sibling pattern across four coordinated changes:

  1. Parser extractionSetAdditional31MetadataFromMapNode extracts scalar/collection siblings; $defs is parsed in LoadSchema (needs LoadSchema for nested schema materialization).
  2. Storage — 8 new properties on JsonSchemaReference ($id stored as SchemaId to avoid collision with BaseOpenApiReference.Id).
  3. Accessor overridesOpenApiSchemaReference getters changed from Target?.X to Reference.X ?? Target?.X.
  4. SerializationSerializeAdditionalV3XProperties emits the new siblings alongside $ref.

Version-safe by call-site separation: SetAdditional31MetadataFromMapNode is only reachable from V31/V32 LoadSchema, never V3. All 1639 existing tests pass unchanged.

Scope

Intentionally narrow — only JSON Schema 2020-12 structural keywords ($-prefixed). Application keywords (type, properties, required, etc.) still delegate to Target. Full sibling compliance is a separate concern with backward-compat implications.

Empty $defs: {} / $vocabulary: {} siblings do not suppress the target's values (collection assigned only when non-empty).

Test coverage

12 new tests across V31 and V32:

  • Parse: keyword siblings ($dynamicAnchor + $defs), scalar siblings ($id, $schema, $comment, $anchor, $dynamicRef), $vocabulary, allOf-binding variant
  • Serialize round-trip: keyword siblings + scalar siblings

…r OAS 3.1+

OpenApiV31Deserializer.LoadSchema short-circuits on $ref before
ParseMap, so sibling keywords ($defs, $dynamicAnchor, $dynamicRef,
$id, $anchor, $vocabulary, $comment) were never parsed into the
object model. This made Pattern B (generic template + binding)
unimplementable for any tool built on Microsoft.OpenApi.

The fix mirrors the microsoft#2369 annotation-sibling pattern across four
coordinated changes:
- Parser extraction in SetAdditional31MetadataFromMapNode (scalars
  + $vocabulary) and LoadSchema ($defs, which needs LoadSchema for
  nested schema materialization)
- Storage: 7 new properties on JsonSchemaReference
- Accessor overrides on OpenApiSchemaReference (Reference.X ??
  Target?.X)
- Serialization in SerializeAdditionalV3XProperties

Version-safe by call-site separation: SetAdditional31MetadataFromMapNode
is only reachable from V31/V32 LoadSchema, never V3.

Ref: microsoft#2895
Switch from GetPropertyValueFromNode(...) ?? X to the
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(...)) pattern used by the existing
Title/annotation extraction, for reviewer consistency.

Also add test for the allOf-based binding variant where $defs
sits inside allOf[0] and the nested schema has $ref +
$dynamicAnchor (the pattern from the blocker analysis).

Ref: microsoft#2895
Add $schema dialect URI as a sibling override on JsonSchemaReference,
matching the pattern used for the other JSON Schema 2020-12 keywords.

Also fix the $defs parsing loop in V31/V32 LoadSchema to push/pop
the parsing context location stack (context.StartObject/EndObject)
around each LoadSchema call, mirroring JsonNodeHelper.CreateMap.
Without this, nested schemas inside a reference's $defs get
incorrect nodeLocation values, breaking relative $ref resolution
and source-pointer diagnostics.

Adds a scalar round-trip test covering $id, $schema, $comment,
$anchor, $dynamicRef serialization.

Ref: microsoft#2895
Mirrors the 6 V31 sibling preservation tests in V32Tests, using
SerializeAsV32 for the round-trip tests. Parse tests are identical
since both versions share the same LoadSchema +
SetAdditional31MetadataFromMapNode path.

Ref: microsoft#2895
An empty $defs: {} or $vocabulary: {} sibling would assign an empty
collection to the reference, blocking fallthrough to Target via the
?? coalescing getter. Only assign when the collection has entries.

…bulary round-trip tests

- Empty $defs: {} / $vocabulary: {} must fall through to Target
  (guards the .Count > 0 fix in commit 4666f2c)
- 3.0 document with $ref + siblings must drop siblings per spec
  (guards the version-safety guarantee)
- $vocabulary round-trip (parse -> serialize -> parse)
