This PR addresses the gitleaks false positive detection by removing the screenshot from README.md that contained a GitHub asset URL flagged as an AWS access token.

Changes

  • Removed .gitleaksignore file (per maintainer request)
  • Removed screenshot image from README.md (line 43) containing the GitHub asset URL a37837b0-b61e-4ce7-b23c-fd8661585e40

The screenshot that was causing the gitleaks false positive has been removed. The maintainer will upload the screenshot again later.
