Research direction
Start by tracing the implementation of --duplicate-function-elimination and how it handles the WebAssembly names section. Check the relevant optimizer behavior and any existing coverage to determine whether removing names is intentional; done means reaching a documented conclusion and, if it is incorrect, a focused change with regression coverage.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
It is understandable that --duplicate-function-elimination removes debug info, as that isn't updated correctly. But does it need to remove the names section as well?
