Parameters using $ref are not validated

Given a path such as:

  /pets/{id}:
    get:
      description: Returns a user based on a single ID, if the user does not have access to the pet
      operationId: find pet by id
      parameters:
        - $ref: '#/components/parameters/id'
      responses:
        '200':
          description: pet response
          content:
            application/json:
              schema:
                $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'
        default:
          description: unexpected error
          content:
            application/json:
              schema:
                $ref: '#/components/schemas/Error'

And a component:

components:
  parameters:
    id:
      name: id
      in: path
      description: ID of pet to fetch
      required: true
      schema:
        type: integer
        format: int64

The parameter isn’t validated.

I’m not sure if that is a design decision or something that will be supported in future? Thanks

@nkemp and I are seeing the same (or similar) issue with requestBody and using $ref also.

note, kogosoftwarellc/open-api#483 is not resolved, however, v1.1.0 now has a workaround in place
