Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce this on the Android nightly build using the listed Pixel 9a and Android 16 steps, then trace the omnibox autocomplete and search handling after visiting apple.com. Done means typing "apple" without accepting the suggestion opens search.brave.com results rather than the upgraded URL.
