Can't run a Python file in PyCharm: why?

I can't run a Python file in PyCharm: why?

The run icon is greyed out:

I went to Run → Edit Configurations… to make sure the correct Python interpreter is selected. Debug, coverage, and profile are fine but I don't see run:

Strangely, only run won't run. What's the issue? I use PyCharm 2024.2.3 Pro.
