fix(codegen): don't group name[] or clashing name[prop] params into an object - #5472

Expand exploded array query parameters instead of joining them with commas.

45-45: Minor · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift

Expand exploded array query parameters instead of joining them with commas.

For ids[] (in: query, style: form, explode: true), the generated params object passes the array unchanged. The default URLSearchParams path converts it to ids[]=1,2. The declared contract expects repeated ids[] entries. The same comma-join applies to every array query parameter, so the fix belongs in the generator or serializer, not in supportDeepObjects.

Scope

This PR does not add the behavior. Before the PR, ids[] merged into an ids object and sent ids=[object Object], which was also wrong. The comma-join already applies to array query parameters without brackets. A caller-supplied paramsSerializer replaces the default path.

Update the query-parameter generation or default serialization path near the `m`
and `paramKeys` condition so array parameters with `style: form` and `explode:
true` serialize as repeated key/value pairs, including bracketed names such as
`ids[]`. Honor each parameter’s declared style and explode setting, preserve
caller-supplied `paramsSerializer` behavior, and do not limit the fix to
`supportDeepObjects`.

Keep array query values intact until paramsSerializer runs.

Keep array query values intact until paramsSerializer runs.

With encodeQueryParams: true, the generated code applies encodeURIComponent(String(value)) to every query parameter, without checking whether the schema type is an array. For [1, 2], String joins the values into "1,2", and encodeURIComponent returns the single string "1%2C2". A custom paramsSerializer receives only that string and cannot rebuild the array.

This conversion already applies to existing array-valued query parameters when the option is enabled. The change does not add it. The fix belongs in the array-handling path of the encodeQueryParams branch in packages/rtk-query-codegen-openapi/src/generate.ts (around lines 616-626). Array values need to reach the serializer as arrays. The correct encoding for each element depends on the serializer, and changing it also changes the generated output for existing array parameters. A specific code change is not established by the inspected source.

Update the array-handling path in the encodeQueryParams branch so query array
values reach paramsSerializer as arrays instead of being stringified and encoded
first. Establish the intended encoding and generated-output behavior for
existing array parameters before changing the transformation; do not assume a
per-element encoding or discard existing safeguards without evidence.
