Research direction

Start by running the failing test test_ls::test_ls_color_norm and inspect tests/by-util/test_ls.rs around line 5786. Reproduce the reported ls -gGU --color invocation on the provided environment, then trace the observed output versus the assertion. Done means the failure is resolved and the test passes.
