Description
Reproducing the mistake:
:appBar (m/AppBar :title "this is an invalid way")
In the documentation, :title expects a Text widget.
The compiler does not emitting any errors, instead, it casts the string to a Widget, knowing that the cast won't work.
Suggestion: not doing the cast and emit an error at compile time

Research direction
No file or test is named in the report, so first locate the compiler path for m/AppBar arguments and the :title value. Trace how the string is cast to a Widget, then verify that supplying a string where a Text widget is expected produces a compile-time error instead.
