found it https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/2594888

It came out this last Wednesday in 1.9.0-alpha04: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-ui#1.9.0-alpha04

It was reverted then merged back with fixes, this usually means we should wait for next release.

I wonder why the offset parameter was considered for InnerShadow but not DropShadow 🤔

Is it because using the existing offset Modifier is possible by chaining it appropriately with the DropShadow but not with InnerShadow?

[Nader Jawad]

The offset for an inner shadow changes the geometry of the intermediate shaders. For drop shadow it is just a change in translation.
