In the TextField composable code, I noticed it annotated the lambda for the decoration box with @Composable, however it works without it. Does the compiler do something different when it's there?

You mean this? https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/material/material/src/commonMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/material/TextField.kt;l=210;drc=ab08e07d4ba9c46eb461d2dd3e51549d6ad44707

It shouldn’t matter. I’m guessing that’s maybe leftover from an early time when the compiler wasn’t smart enough to infer that a lambda passed as a parameter marked composable should also be composable, but it is now.

That's probably it, wasn't sure if there was some intention behind annotating it

AFAIK, that annotation is mostly useful for type _inference_:

val myContent = @Composable { … }
