Description

- os: MacOs
- `lsd --version`: 1.1.2
- `echo $TERM`: xterm-256color
- `echo $LS_COLORS`: di=1;36:ln=35:so=32:pi=33:ex=31:bd=34;46:cd=34;43:su=30;41:sg=30;46:tw=30;42:ow=30;43

I copied the default `.config/lsd/icons.yaml` file and started modifying the icons, which works as expected.
If I add `rb: ` or anything else under `extensions:` (same for `name:` and `filetype:`), none of the changed icons show up anymore, and it all goes back to default.
Are we supposed not to add any other extensions to this config file?

Research direction

Start with the copied .config/lsd/icons.yaml and compare behavior with only the default entries versus added values under extensions, name, and filetype. Reproduce the report using lsd 1.1.2 on macOS, then trace the configuration handling until added entries no longer cause the customized icons to revert to defaults.
