Four labels, one wins
A button has picked up four different sources of text over time: a visible label element, an attribute label, its own inner text, and a tooltip. A screen reader announces exactly one of them.
The browser resolves these in a fixed order and stops at the first it finds. Most people guess it announces the visible text, because that's what they can see.
Put the sources in the order the browser consults them.
?Guess wrong and you'll add a label that is silently outranked by one already there.
Outside every boundary: The button (four sources of text), Screen reader (announces one), Name computation (stops at the first hit) Connections: The button calls Name computation Name computation calls Screen reader — one name
