I am writing my thesis in the French language - see below for a minimal working example - I need to have a summary which is practically a succinct table of contents containing only parts, chapters, and sections; I also need to provide an exhaustive table of contents at the end of the thesis which includes subsections.

I am using \shorttableofcontents because if I use \tableofcontents twice, one of them is rendered blank.

I would like that the \chapter{Appendices} to be only included in the second toc but no mention of it in the \shorttableofcontents, no matter what I tried, it doesn't seem to work, and I couldn't find questions with similar cases.

\documentclass[oneside, a4paper, 12pt]{book}
\usepackage{shorttoc}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{anyfontsize}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{sectsty}
\usepackage{arabtex}
\usepackage{utf8}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\setcode{utf8}

\begin{document}
\shorttableofcontents{Summary}{1}
\frontmatter
\chapter{General Introduction}


\mainmatter
\chapter{CH1}
\chapter{CH2}
\chapter{CH3}


\backmatter
\chapter{Appendices}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3} 
\tableofcontents


\end{document}

First adds a boolean, set as true, to the shottoc code.

Then, before the appendices, adds in the .toc file a command to set the depth of the toc = -1 (don't show chapters and lower levels) if the boolean is true.
