Research direction

Locate the crash-log parsing or symbolication entry point and inspect how input lines are processed before symbolication. Add handling for coloured control codes so coloured logs are processed like plain logs, then verify that symbolication succeeds for both forms.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If practical, try to skip coloured control codes so we can handle symbolicating crash logs that have colour. It should not happen often but would be confusing for users if it skipped them, and should be fairly easy processing to add.
