Description
I tried these code snippets in monaco editor playground
I'm posting it here, as those were reproducible in VsCode too

- When an Object in constructed with some keys and manipulated by some other keys then, those manipulated keys wont find its place in the suggestions ( as a property ). It only comes in suggestion as a literal
Here, key3 is not suggested as property of the object

- When an Object is initialized with an empty object and then if it is reassigned, then only the directly manipulated keys are shown in suggestions
Here, Only key3 is suggested as property of the object and not the other keys

- When an Object is initialized with an empty object and then if it is only manipulated ( one at a time ) then it works
perfectly fine

Research direction
Start by reproducing the three object-declaration scenarios in the Monaco Editor playground and VS Code described in the issue. Trace the TypeScript completion behavior for object keys and determine whether the differing suggestions are expected; done means the reported scenarios have consistent property completions, with regression coverage if the relevant test location is found.
