accessorThisRecursion

Reports recursive access to this within getters and setters.

✅ This rule is included in the ts logical and logicalStrict presets.

Accessing this.propertyName inside a getter or setter for propertyName triggers that same accessor again, causing infinite recursion and a stack overflow error at runtime.
