Research direction
Start by checking whether VS Code exposes shebang-based language or file associations, then inspect how this extension defines icon associations. Determine whether a file without an extension, such as one beginning with #!/usr/bin/env bash, can receive a language-specific icon, and document the supported outcome or limitation.
