Description

In linux, `lsd --icon auto --color auto` will display color/icons when the output is a tty, and not display color/icons when the output is a file or a pipe.

In windows, `lsd --icon auto --color auto` always behave like `never`. Is it a bug?

Research direction

Reproduce `lsd --icon auto --color auto` on Windows in a terminal, file output, and a pipe, then compare the results with Linux. Trace the handling of `auto` for icon and color output; done means terminal output is enabled while file and pipe output remains disabled, matching the reported Linux behavior.
