How to disable stack trace obfuscation in prod?

To avoid showing sensitive information in production, NextJS removes the stack trace from errors thrown in server actions and server components, and replaces it with a digest. However this is really inconvenient for the vast majority of projects that have yet to launch. Is there a flag or some other code modification to disable this behavior from NextJS?

no. you need to handle your error properly, whether the app has launched or not.

These errors are actual programming or logic errors it doesn't make sense to handle them
I want the application to fail (gracefull or not) but the important part is showing the stack trace instead of just a digest
then you should be using dev mode not prod mode
prod mode is not meant for applications still with logic/syntax errors in them
