Research direction

No file or test is named. Locate the member-eligibility logic and existing visibility-related tests, then read how Scala member access and package boundaries are represented there. Done means wiring accepts protected members from parent classes or traits and package-private/protected members in the same package without regressing public-member behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

At the moment only public members are eligible for wiring. We should also accept:

  • protected members of parent classes/traits
  • package private/protected members if we're in the same package
