Claim foreign income while applying for adjustment of status visa?

My wife and I moved to the US in late April. I am a US citizen and she is not. She entered the US on a tourist visa. USCIS received her adjustment of status application to become a resident in November 2024 . In December 2024, they issued her a work permit, but not residency yet. From April 2024 - October 2024, she continued to run her UK business online while being on her tourist visa in the US. This is technically not legal, but is forgiven by USCIS if it is mentioned in the application, which it was. All of her income was in British Pounds and deposited into her UK accounts. We are filing US taxes jointly. Does she need to file this foreign income? Thank you for any guidance you can provide?
