Content type for PATCH sub resource requests is incorrect

[suman-ganta]

Describe the bug Patching status subresource of a CRD always fails with java client.

Client Version 20.0.0

Kubernetes Version 1.29.1

Java Version Java 17

To Reproduce

var fooApi = new GenericKubernetesApi<>(Foo.class, FooList.class, "foo.bar", "v1", "foos", apiClient);
fooApi.updateStatus(foo, Foo::getStatus).throwsApiException().getObject();

Above code always fails with the following error

{"kind":"Status","apiVersion":"v1","metadata":{},"status":"Failure","message":"the body of the request was in an unknown format - accepted media types include: application/json-patch+json, application/merge-patch+json, application/apply-patch+yaml","reason":"UnsupportedMediaType","code":415}

Expected behavior This call is expected to succeed.

KubeConfig If applicable, add a KubeConfig file with secrets redacted.

Server (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS
• Kind cluster

Additional context The equivalent call from kubectl succeeds -

kubectl patch foos.foo.bar foo1 --subresource=status --type=json -p '[{"op":"replace","path":"/status","value":{"availableReplicas":20}}]'

In kubernetes/api/openapi.yaml, operationId: patchNamespacedCustomObject has the content type defined as application/json, which seem to be incorrect.
