I am trying to 'properly' build AI::Embedding and publish the next development version to CPAN. So, as kcott suggested, I have turned on RELEASE_TESTING and I am running the tests using prove. My user tests are now passing but I am stuck on the author tests.

Attempting to prove -vb t/manifest.t I get the following error: 

not ok 1# The following files are not named in the MANIFEST file: C:\U
+sers\user\Perl\AI-Embedding\AI-Embedding\ignore.txt, C:\Users\user\Pe
+rl\AI-Embedding\AI-Embedding\t\01-openai.t, C:\Users\user\Perl\AI-Emb
+edding\AI-Embedding\xt\boilerplate.t

All these files were created by Module::Starter.

What is ignore.txt used for and does it need to be added to the manifest file?

What is a xt directory for? Can I ignore or delete it?

For slightly later, once I've built the module, should I delete the blib directory before make dist?

Also, because I have AI::Embedding v0.1_1 installed, I had to add use lib 'lib'; to the test files to make the tests use the right version of the module. Will this create difficulties if it is left in when the module gets uploaded to CPAN?
