[repo-assist] fix: formatObject correctly handles Option(T) elements in arrays

Problem

When a generated API type has a property of type Option<DateOnly>[], Option<TimeOnly>[], or Option<string>[] (i.e., an array of optional values, not an optional array), the appendFormattedArray helper in formatObject fell through to obj.ToString() for each element. This produced locale-specific output like Some(07/04/2025) instead of ISO 8601.

This is a companion bug to the one fixed in #473, which handled Option<DateOnly> and Option<TimeOnly> scalar properties. Arrays of option elements were not covered.

Fix

In appendFormattedArray, a new isOptionEl flag is pre-computed before the element loop by checking whether the array's element type (elTy) is an F# option type. When isOptionEl is true, each element is unwrapped using the existing cached tag reader + Value property, then formatted via appendFormattedValue (which handles ISO 8601 for DateOnly/TimeOnly, quoting for strings, and ToString() for all others). None elements are rendered as "null".

No new caches are introduced — this reuses optionTagReaderCache and optionValueCache already used throughout the file.

Test	Expected
array<Option<DateOnly>> all Some	{Dates=[2025-01-01; 2025-12-31]}
array<Option<DateOnly>> with None	{Dates=[2025-07-04; null]}
array<Option<TimeOnly>> all Some	{Times=[14:30:00; 09:05:03.123]}
array<Option<TimeOnly>> with None	{Times=[null; 08:00:00]}
array<Option<string>> mixed	{Names=["hello"; null; "world"]}

Test Status

Pull request overview

This PR updates RuntimeHelpers.formatObject (used by generated provider types’ ToString() overrides) to correctly format arrays whose elements are Option<'T> (e.g., DateOnly option[], TimeOnly option[], string option[]) by unwrapping Some values and rendering None as null, avoiding locale-specific Some(...) output.

Changes:

• Add detection/handling for array<Option<'T>> in formatObject’s array formatting path to unwrap elements before formatting.
• Add new unit tests covering arrays of optional DateOnly, TimeOnly, and string elements.

Fixed. CI failure was FS0039 in RuntimeHelpers.fs (appendFormattedArray not defined); I made appendFormattedArray recursive in commit f686142 and validated with dotnet build tests/SwaggerProvider.Tests/SwaggerProvider.Tests.fsproj -c Release + dotnet tests/SwaggerProvider.Tests/bin/Release/net10.0/SwaggerProvider.Tests.dll (547 passed, 1 skipped). I also ran final PR validation (Code Review + CodeQL).
