When generating Kotlin classes with Kotlin 2.2+, each @JsonProperty annotation currently produces the following compiler warning:
w: file:///C:/git/dgs-sample/build/generated/sources/dgs-codegen/com/netflix/dgs/codegen/generated/types/SampleType.kt:14:3 This annotation is currently applied to the value parameter only, but in the future it will also be applied to field.
- To opt in to applying to both value parameter and field, add '-Xannotation-default-target=param-property' to your compiler arguments.
- To keep applying to the value parameter only, use the '@param:' annotation target.
See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-73255 for more details.

To avoid these warnings and ensure consistent behavior across Kotlin versions, the code generator should use explicit use‑site targets. Instead of:
@JsonProperty("fieldName")
the generator should emit:
@field:JsonProperty("fieldName")
This explicitly applies the annotation to the field and matches the recommended approach for Kotlin 2.2+.
