Problem

When adding custom examples to OpenAPI specification, Scalar's request dropdown only shows the custom examples. There's no way to access the auto-generated schema fields that Scalar originally displayed.

Current Behavior

• Without custom examples: Scalar auto-generates request body from schema.
• With custom examples: Only custom examples appear in drop-down, no way to see all available schema fields.

Expected Behavior

The dropdown should include both:

1. "Schema" or "Default" option - showing all fields auto-generated from OpenAPI schema.
2. Custom examples from the specification.

Use Case

Developers need to:

• See all available fields in the API (schema-generated)
• Quickly test with pre-filled examples (custom examples)
• Switch between these two views easily

Proposed Solution

Add a reserved example name (e.g., "$schema") or automatically prepend a schema-based example to the dropdown when custom examples exist.
