Hello, the colorls in my machine can't recognize file with only one extension such as .ignore, .DS_Store,.type_example, here is an example:

The file .DS_Store and .gitignore are recognized as file type instead of apple / git type. I changed nothing in yaml dir.(I also tried adding ds_store:"\ue711", and it didn't work.)

If I add any latters before dot, it can recognize rightly. For example, I renamed .gitignore to test.gitignore,it showed as follow:

Other files with name before dot can be recognized correctly. My system is macOS 10.15.7, and I have installed nerd-font.

Thank you for reading.

Research direction
Investigate the file extension parsing logic in colorls, specifically how it handles filenames with only an extension (no base name). Check the mapping files (YAML) and the code that matches icons to file types.
