The four images under screen/ were taken against an Active Admin whose form layout this gem no longer produces — a Country form, a narrower label column, dates from 2015. The README now embeds a current screenshot hosted on GitHub, so nothing in the repository references them.

Checked before deleting:

  • grep for screen/ across Markdown and JSON — no remaining references
  • Gem::Specification#files — 6 files before and after, unchanged. They were never in the published gem: the whitelist added in Publish only a whitelist of files in the gem #8 has excluded them all along
  • suite still 28 examples, 0 failures

So this removes 96 KB from the repository and nothing else.

Also rewords the gemspec comment that cited screen/ as the cautionary example for why the file list is a whitelist. The reasoning stands — a reject list needs a new pattern every time the repo grows a directory — but the directory it pointed at no longer exists.

They were never shipped: the whitelist in the gemspec has kept them out of
the packaged gem since #8, and the file count there is unchanged at 6. This
only removes 96 KB from the repository.

The gemspec comment that cited screen/ as the cautionary example is reworded
-- the reasoning for a whitelist stands, but the directory it pointed at is
gone.
