Description

I followed this doc to create a multi-shank probe.
However, the resulting two-shank probe does not has 'device_channel_indices'. Could anyone suggeset how to fix this issue?
I checked the function there was a comment at line 89 saying

# TODO deal with contact_ids/device_channel_indices

so I dont know what's the best way to approach this issue

Research direction

Start with the multi-shank probe example in the linked documentation and inspect the combine_probes function around the mentioned line 89 TODO. Trace how device_channel_indices is handled when probes are combined, then add regression coverage for the two-shank case. Done means the resulting combined probe retains the expected device_channel_indices.
