Research direction
The issue names the WinUI 3 maximize/restore button but no source file or test. Start by locating the title-bar button and its tooltip behavior, then reproduce with Windows App SDK 1.6.6 on Windows 10. Done means the tooltip says "Restore down" while maximized and "Maximize" otherwise.
