Redoc-cli discriminator

Question

I have redoc-cli installed via npm

$ redoc-cli --version
0.13.20

Now I use it to build docs with the following

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Sample API
  version: '1.0'

      description: Op description.
      requestBody:

          application/json:
            schema:
              type: object
              properties:
                test:
                  $ref: '#/components/schemas/test'
      tags:
        - sample tag
components:
  schemas:
    test1:
      title: Test
      type: object
      properties:
        testType:
          type: string
        testOne:
          type: string
    test2:
      title: Test 2
      type: object
      properties:
        testType:
          type: string
        testTwo:
          type: number
    test:
      title: Test Polymorph
      oneOf:
        - $ref: '#/components/schemas/test1'
        - $ref: '#/components/schemas/test2'
      discriminator:
        propertyName: testType
        mapping:
          ONE: '#/components/schemas/test1'
          TWO: '#/components/schemas/test2'

Still attempting to

$ redoc-cli build 04_interface/test.yaml
Prerendering docs

 bundled successfully in: redoc-static.html (1061 KiB) [⏱ 0.179s]

Gives me a result as-if the whole discriminator was missing, i.e.

...instaed of the expected select box, as documented in redocly

I know redocly and redoc-cli are not the same, but redoc-cli used to support discriminators in the past, just at some point it seems to me that it stopped working - or there is some syntax niche I am missing.

So i found what the turning point is. Look at this example.

    testPolymorph:
      title: Test Polymorph
      discriminator:
        propertyName: testType
        mapping:
          ONE: '#/components/schemas/test1'
          TWO: '#/components/schemas/test2'
      oneOf:
        - $ref: '#/components/schemas/test1'
        - $ref: '#/components/schemas/test2'

This specs yields the following visualization

It seems the discriminator doesnt work for $refs, only if the $ref is on the top schema level.
