x-serializer-class
`x-serializer-class` appears on parameter objects. Its value is a string. Used by a single provider across 2 OpenAPI documents. Observed values include `com.partstech.partnerapi.serialization.NullableInt`. Consistent with sdk & code generation — 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 sdk & code generation job.
