Production stack traces are hard to debug:

Tools like Sentry support several debug file format. Including DWARF, PDB, Portable PDBs, etc.
It also supports Wasm DWARF but it requires a way to identify the wasm modules at runtime. It has a JavaScript integration that patches things at runtime in order to collect the loaded modules. And with that it can load debug files when events come into the service.

Patching the wasm with a debug id after the fact breaks ASP.NET's ability to check for integrity, forcing the user to abandon it through BlazorCacheBootResources set to false.

Describe the solution you'd like

Attach a section called debug_id in the .NET wasm module :

https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/native/guides/wasm/data-management/debug-files/identifiers/#wasm-build-ids

This way crash reporting tools can build integrations for Blazor to have better debuggability for production builds.

Just realized perhaps this belongs in dotnet/runtime?

Note that the stack above is most likely C code of the MonoVM and it's interpreter.
Looking at it's DWARF would not help you understanding the managed stack trace.
