Research direction

Create a multimodule repository as described and apply the RemoveUnusedPrivateFields recipe multiple times, comparing which fields are deleted on each run. Start with the recipe entry point and the context from related issue #1753; use the Slack background for additional reproduction details. Done means the same valid fields are selected consistently across repeated runs.
