Description

This structure:

Provokes this error when trying to return it from a public function:

Looks like the plugin is not inferring that this struct is indeed public because declared in a public extension. Adding public to it's declaration makes the error go away, but now Swift throws a warning 'public' modifier is redundant for struct declared in a public extension

Research direction

Reproduce the access-control error using the structure shown in the issue: a struct declared inside a public extension and returned from a public function. Start by locating the plugin logic that infers access control for Swift declarations. Done means the struct is treated as public without requiring a redundant modifier or producing the Swift warning.
