Research direction

Start at the com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout entry point and review how its start and end drawable icons are exposed through XML and Java. Clarify whether the requested padding should be independently configurable for each icon and what existing style behavior must remain compatible; done means the chosen API supports both configuration paths and the icon spacing behaves as requested.
