Description
For some reason, when loading the symbol backend wasm, the compilation hangs and never resolves.
The extension isn't able to parse symbols due this hanging. I have looked into this and it seems the call to WebAssembly.compile inside createSymbolsBackendModulePromise (the rpc one) hangs. When compiling the module in the nose repl, it works

Research direction
Start at the RPC implementation of createSymbolsBackendModulePromise and inspect its WebAssembly.compile call. Compare its behavior with compiling the module in the nose repl; done means the SymbolsBackend initialization resolves and the extension can parse symbols without hanging.
