Research direction
Investigate the rename refactoring code in the Roslyn repository, likely in the Features or Workspaces layer. Focus on the InlineRename or Renamer classes. Check if there is a missing call to rename the file when the type declaration's file name matches the type name. Look at the existing tests for rename refactoring to understand expected behavior.
