All public fields are considered Unity serialisable


Any public field in a MonoBehaviour is subject to Unity Engine Language & Frameworks Serialized field naming rules rather than C# Code Style "Fields (not private)" regardless of whether Unity can serialize it. Fields that do not represent a type Unity can serialize should use the C# Code Style rules.

For our particular usecase we mark all private fields (including those tagged with SerializeField) as m_, but public fields should be PascalCased.

Start by reproducing the behavior for public fields in a MonoBehaviour, comparing fields whose types Unity can serialize with fields it cannot. Trace how Unity serialization rules and the C# Code Style "Fields (not private)" setting are selected. Done means serializable fields retain Unity naming rules while non-serializable public fields use PascalCase.
