Sorry,  I mean a compile-time error. But in any case, I was mistaken,
because that part is not included in this
"client only" contribution, although I might add it later in order to
enforce (me) to keep the models up to date.

To be clear, IF we have a mapping from the "presentation model" (the pure
api dto's) and the internal model (e.g. *Info), a compile-time error can be
thrown (if configured to do so) whenever there are missing mappings from
properties of one model to the other.
Why the two models? because outside of geoserver, there's no notion of
CatalogInfo et.al., and the "pure api" model lets you create clients and
server stubs in all languages supported by the openapi generator.

Nothing prevents you from setting up a separate build server that will run

I know that, and IMO, it's an acceptable burden in order to keep them
aligned. If you add a property to FeatureTypeInfo, so add it to the model
object in catalog.yaml and call it a day.
But as mentioned above, not a concern right now.

Cheers,
Gabe.
