Research direction

Start by reading the linked Material date-picker specs and guidelines, then compare their toggled icon behavior with the Android 1.13.0-alpha08 screenshots and the Jetpack Compose behavior shown. Done means the specification and Android implementation consistently show the appropriate down or up arrow when the date picker changes state.
