Both common.json and questionanswering-authoring.json define a JobState model that has separate defintions. The purpose of common.json is to define common models that all swaggers therein reference. From past discussions, questionanswering-authoring.json was supposed to have ref'd this common JobState, which did not happen prior to 2022-05-01 GA.

This will continue to cause lintdiff errors, however, as seen in PR #21030. We need to find a way to solve this problem. One way, since model names are irrelevant to actual service responses, is to change the mode name but keep the x-ms-class-name the same. SDK devs could also use an autorest transform to rename them.

However, that would still cause a breaking change that could affect any other customer-generated clients so that might not be ideal.

Alternatively, can we align the JobState models in a non-breaking way and then just reference the one in common.json in questionanswering-authoring.json as originally intended?
