Describe the bug you're encountering
When a property inside an object schema has its own title keyword set, Swagger UI never renders it anywhere when the document is OpenAPI 3.1. The exact same schema, served as OpenAPI 3.0, renders the titles correctly.
To reproduce...
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to 'editor.swagger.io'
- Paste the example schema
- Compare
titlerendering (and lack thereof) between OAS 3.0 and 3.1
Expected behavior
A property's own title keyword should be displayed somewhere (as it is in the OAS 3.0).
Additional context or thoughts
This is distinct from the known $ref-sibling-keyword rendering (e.g., #9540) that changed in 3.1 due to stricter JSON schema adherence. There are zero $refs in the example, as the issue is entirely with property title rendering and has nothing to do with dereferencing.
