Research direction

Compare anatomy/tracks/shared-files.md with the Track Anatomy Example linked from the anatomy/tracks page, focusing on the listed exercises/shared/.docs files. Determine which file list is authoritative, then update the inconsistent documentation so both references agree and verify the links and examples remain correct.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There is a difference in file list of exercises/shared/.docs files between Shared Files (debug.md, help.md, tests.md) and Track Anatomy Example (debug.md, cli.md).
