Description

Testing https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/89387.

It would make sense to provide a code action / refactoring for turning a public field into a private field that also generates a getter if needed.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked VS Code issue 89387 and the TypeScript code-action/refactoring entry points. Determine how a public field can be converted to a private field and when a getter is needed. Done means the requested code action performs that transformation consistently, with appropriate coverage added where the project tests code actions.
