Root cause: Console method wrapping violates UNIX Rule #8 (Build for Debuggability) - it risks infinite recursion, breaks DevTools expectations, adds performance overhead on every console call, and mutates global browser state. Solution: Rely on global error/rejection handlers only. The wrapConsole() method and captureDebugLogs flag have been removed entirely. Unhandled errors and promise rejections are still captured without intercepting console.* methods. Security posture is improved by avoiding interception of developer tooling while still capturing actionable runtime failures. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
