The word "debuging" should be spelled "debugging", and "helpldata" should be "help data" (two words).

The path separator backslashes in these PowerShell dot-source commands may not work correctly on Linux. Consider documenting that $repoRoot should be a variable containing the repository root path, or use forward slashes which work cross-platform in PowerShell paths.

The command "Start-Process https://localhost:5001" is Windows-specific and will fail on Linux/macOS. According to the coding guidelines, this project is intended to be cross-platform. Consider using a cross-platform approach such as checking the OS and using appropriate commands (xdg-open on Linux, open on macOS, Start-Process on Windows), or document that this task only works on Windows.
