Fix maximum call stack size exceeded when using asClass: true

[Copilot]

Problem

When using the SDK plugin with asClass: true, the code generator would fail with "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error for certain OpenAPI specifications. This issue occurred when operationIds contained path segments that, after PascalCase transformation, created duplicate class names or circular class hierarchies.

Root Cause

The issue had two related causes:

1. Duplicate class names in path: When an operationId like api/v1/test/getData was combined with a tag like Test, the generated class path would be:

   • Before transformation: ["Test", "api", "v1", "test"]
   • After PascalCase: ["Test", "Api", "V1", "Test"]

   This created a self-referencing class structure where Test appeared twice in the hierarchy.

2. Circular class hierarchies: Multiple operations with overlapping class segments could create cycles. For example:

   • Operation A creates: AccountingCompanies → Api → VVersionApiVersion → Odata
   • Operation B creates: Odata → ... → AccountingCompanies

   This resulted in infinite recursion during class generation.

Solution

This PR implements two fixes:

1. Deduplicate class names in operation paths (operation.ts)

After transforming path segments to PascalCase, the code now removes duplicate class names while preserving order:

const uniquePath: Array<string> = [];
const seen = new Set<string>();
for (const name of transformedPath) {
  if (!seen.has(name)) {
    seen.add(name);
    uniquePath.push(name);
  }
}

2. Add cycle detection to parent-child relationships (plugin.ts)

Before adding a child class to a parent, the code now checks if it would create a cycle:

const wouldCreateCycle = (childId: number, ancestorId: number): boolean => {
  const child = sdkClasses.get(childId);
  if (!child) return false;
  if (child.id === ancestorId) return true;
  for (const grandchildId of child.classes) {
    if (wouldCreateCycle(grandchildId, ancestorId)) {
      return true;
    }
  }
  return false;
};

if (!wouldCreateCycle(symbolCurrentClass.id, symbolParentClass.id)) {
  parentClass.classes.add(symbolCurrentClass.id);
}

Testing

• ✅ Created test cases with operationIds that reproduce the issue
• ✅ Verified the fix works with the original 37k-line OpenAPI spec from the issue
• ✅ All 910 existing tests pass
• ✅ Manually verified generated code has correct class hierarchies with no circular references

Fixes #2627
