Pull request overview
Fixes a crash caused by accessing freed cJSON nodes after schema parsing by avoiding reference-based merges when resolving $ref (the parsed root schema is deleted at the end of parsing, so referenced nodes can become dangling).
Changes:
- Replace
cJSON_AddItemReferenceToObject()with a deep copy (cJSON_Duplicate(..., 1)) when merging referenced schema nodes into a base object.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
