x-konfig-null-placeholder
`x-konfig-null-placeholder` appears on schema objects and properties. Its value is a boolean flag. Used by a single provider across 1 OpenAPI document. It sits in the `x-konfig-` namespace, so its meaning is defined by konfig tooling rather than by OpenAPI. Consistent with type system — this is inferred from where the key appears and what it carries, not from any published definition.

Why this is not in OpenAPI
Extensions exist because a provider needed something the specification would not carry. Most of what they hold is not the API contract at all — it is operational metadata about the contract: documentation, lifecycle, policy, provenance, and now agents. That metadata is usually better placed alongside the contract, in an Overlay or an APIs.json index, than crammed inside it. See everything else doing the data & schema semantics job.
