Ignoring an automatic screenshot with no request

Q: What was decided, and why?

Keep it as context when no action is called for. The screenshot carried no request, so no action was called for. It was just a record of the editor's panels at a certain point. They decided to keep it as context in case it was needed later. Since no words or changes were asked for, they saw no reason to take any action.
