Description

The flood of 🔥 emojis looks cool and definitely draws attention when you hit an issue in local development, but it's not well supported in all CI systems, and certainly not in all logging systems. There should be a way to tweak this behavior, perhaps even with sane defaults such as disabling the fires when CI=1 or based on some terminal variables.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the codebase to find where exception messages with emojis are constructed. Look for existing configuration mechanisms like environment variables or settings. Add a new configuration option to disable emojis, potentially checking the CI environment variable.
