KubernetesClient.Aot args IList<string> serialization error

[SGStino]

Describe the bug
If a kubernetes client config contains string lists (for example, at users[*].user.exec.args), the yaml serializer throws that it can't deserialize the node into IList.

No node deserializer was able to deserialize the node into type System.Collections.Generic.IList`1[[System.String, System.Private.CoreLib, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e]], System.Private.CoreLib, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e

Kubernetes C# SDK Client Version
14.0.2

Server Kubernetes Version
N\A

Dotnet Runtime Version
net8

To Reproduce
Create a config that contains a user that needs to "exec" with arguments, for example kube oidc login (see KubeConfig)

Expected behavior
Being able to deserialize the config, including the args list.

KubeConfig

...
users:
- name: oidc-prod
  user:
    exec:
      apiVersion: client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1
      args:
      - oidc-login
      - get-token
      - --oidc-issuer-url=https://identity
      - --oidc-client-id=k8s
      - --oidc-client-secret=topsecret
      command: kubectl 
      interactiveMode: IfAvailable
      provideClusterInfo: false
...

Where do you run your app with Kubernetes SDK (please complete the following information):
Reproducable in RoslynPad or dotnet console application:

#r "nuget: KubernetesClient.Aot, 14.0.2"
using k8s;
using k8s.Models;
var clientConfig = KubernetesClientConfiguration.BuildConfigFromConfigFile();

Additional context
in the JsonSerializationContext for AOT source generation you'd have to include [JsonSerializable(typeof(IList<string>))], my guess would be that there is something similar for YamlDotNet?

[tg123]

seems so, would you like to send a pr to fix it?
or i will pick it this weekend

[SGStino]

We could pick it up, but, at first glance I don't really see where that would be done in YamlDotNet. There doesn't seem to be a serialization context like in System.Text.Json?
Any suggestion as to where to look? Haven't done any AOT with Yaml so far yet.

[SGStino]

It seems that all the YamlSerializeableAttributes aren't required on the StaticContext and that it still works for most of the types.

But adding [YamlSerializeableAttribute(typeof(IList<string>))] makes the Source generator generate invalid code and it won't compile anymore.
only [YamlSerializeableAttribute(typeof(string[])] generates code that compiles, but that would require updating the kubernetes client models, which wouldn't be desirable...

It might be related to aaubry/YamlDotNet#740 (comment)

And if i'm reading this: aaubry/YamlDotNet#884 it might fix itself in a few days.
