codesandbox.io unable to point to anything expcet "index.html"

Question

Trying to setup a vanilla JS on codesandbox.io, when I change the name of the index file, the app no longer can see the HTML at all and throws an error. I must be missing something here, why can I not change the name? In the link here, I have a very basic reproduction of this issue.

Apparently there is no way to change the name entry point. It seems that the "index" name is hardcoded in the service code.
