@field private in @meta file triggers warning even when accessed within the same class

Reproduza o aviso usando os exemplos types.lua e ModuleMixin.lua, começando pelo diagnóstico de campos privados no language server. Rastreie como a declaração da classe e seu arquivo de implementação são associados. O trabalho estará concluído quando os acessos vindos da implementação não gerarem mais avisos, enquanto as verificações de campos privados permanecerem intactas em outros locais.

Expected Behaviour

When defining a class in a ---@meta file with @field private annotations, the Lua language server warns about accessing those private fields even when they are accessed within the implementation of the same class (just in a separate file). This makes private fields effectively unusable if you're organizing types in meta files.

The language server should not warn about access to @field private fields when they are accessed within the implementation of the class they belong to, even if that implementation is in a separate file.

I think this is by design rather than a bug, so maybe this is a feature request?

Actual Behaviour

Even though I'm accessing the private field in the implementation of that class, I see a warning:

Reproduction steps

1. In types.lua (meta file)

---@meta

---@class (exact) ModuleMixin
---@field private __loaded boolean
---@field Load fun(self)
---@field IsLoaded fun(self): boolean
---@field Init fun(self)

2. ModuleMixin.lua (implementation)

---@type SmartChat.ModuleMixin
local ModuleMixin = {}

function ModuleMixin:Init()
  self.__loaded = false  -- <-- LuaLS warns that __loaded is private
end

Additional Notes

I use a @meta file to separate type annotations from implementation, which is common in larger projects. This issue makes it difficult to use private meaningfully unless everything is co-located in the same file, which defeats the purpose of a metadata/type declaration file.

Would it be possible to make private refer to "the class definition context" rather than "the file only"?

Thanks!
