Description
Basically #4223 .
I had the same issue a couple month ago and submitted a ticket here (#4223) but thought it was fixed. Now I noticed the same problem on a different track (last time go this time python).
What happened ?
I completed the exercise twelve days in the python track on my own. I go the warning screen that I will not unlock the side exercises, etc. But in the end the single side exercise is still unlocked for me. And it's not just displayed this way instead I can actually work on it.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior in the Python track by completing exercise twelve on your own and checking whether the side exercise can still be opened. Compare the result with issue #4223; done means independently completed exercises do not unlock side exercises.
