Research direction

Start in the Command Palette app-discovery and icon-loading paths, then reproduce the issue with an app installed via ClickOnce. Compare the discovered app with one installed by another method and trace where its icon is selected. Done means the ClickOnce-installed app appears in Command Palette with its own icon rather than the generic icon.
