Research direction
Start with lib/java/com/google/android/material/appbar/MaterialToolbar.java and review how the toolbar title TextView is handled. Use docs/components/TopAppBar.md for the component context, then verify that the title is exposed as a heading to screen readers. Done means the title is consistently announced as a heading on Android API versions.
