Research direction

Reproduce the issue by opening a MySQL Shell script in a Visual Studio Code tab and comparing it with a workbook, where saving works. Trace the script-tab save entry point and identify why the save action has no effect. Done means script files save successfully from the tab without relying on the workbook workaround; add or run the relevant tests if the project provides them.

Description

When I open a Visual Studio Code tab for MySQL Shell as a script, the 'save' button doesn't appear to do anything. Works fine as a workbook, and I suppose I could use that as a workaround.
