 - `repub.toml`: example runtime config with feed definitions and Scrapy overrides
-- `fixtures/local-feed.rss`: simple local RSS fixture for `file://` feed testing
-
-## Local File Feed
-
-`repub` already accepts absolute `file://` feed URIs. To point it at the demo fixture, generate an absolute URI like this from the repo root:
-
-```shell
-python3 -c 'from pathlib import Path; print(Path("demo/fixtures/local-feed.rss").resolve().as_uri())'
-```
-
-Then use that value in a config entry:
-
-```toml
-[[feeds]]
-name = "local-demo"
-url = "file:///absolute/path/to/demo/fixtures/local-feed.rss"
-```
