Function resolveRef

resolveRef(
    schema: Record<string, unknown>,
    rootDocument: Record<string, unknown>,
    visited: Set<string>,
    diagnostics?: DiagnosticsOptions,
    maxDepth?: number,
    externalResolver?: ExternalResolver,
): Record<string, unknown>
Resolve a $ref in a schema against a root document. Returns the original schema if no $ref is present. Returns an unknown-schema placeholder on cycle or depth exceeded.

The depth bound is derived from the number of distinct $ref strings in the root document — a chain longer than that count is necessarily cyclic. When maxDepth is not provided, a reasonable default is used.

- rootDocument: Record<string, unknown>
- visited: Set<string>
- Optionaldiagnostics: DiagnosticsOptions
- OptionalmaxDepth: number
