Research direction
Start by tracing the Windows handling of WM_NCHITTEST and review the linked Windows 11 snap-layout example. Determine how a maximize-button rectangle in content coordinates can be supplied and how hover and press states reach the Flutter button. Done means custom caption buttons trigger the Windows 11 snap flyout and preserve those states.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
On Windows 11, hovering the maximize button shows the snap layout flyout. Apps that hide the native title bar and draw their own caption buttons lose it, unless the window answers WM_NCHITTEST with HTMAXBUTTON over their maximize button.
Proposal: let the app tell the window where its maximize button is (for example Window::SetMaximizeButtonRect(Rect), in content coordinates), and have the Windows hit-testing return HTMAXBUTTON there, with the hover and press states forwarded so the Flutter button can still render them.
