Description

## Expected behavior
When certain entries are bold (like when listing executables, folders or archives), only make the text bold, not the icons.

## Actual behavior
Bold entries have both the text and icon bold, which can make them much less recognizable, especially if the icon is detailed/dense.

Screenshots, normal and huge:

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by locating the listing-rendering entry point that applies bold styling to entries and their icons, then reproduce the behavior with bold executables, folders, or archives. Done means the text remains bold while the icon keeps its normal appearance.
