Research direction
The issue only identifies STS4 symbols and examples such as beans, configurations, and request mappings; no files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the symbol presentation and icon definitions, then determine the complete symbol-type list and how icons are selected. Done means the agreed symbol types display distinct icons across the supported STS4 clients.
