Description
given a printed stack trace like:
AA({"backtrace":[{"filename":"pkg:/components/maestro/generated/ContentApiTask.brs","function":"exec() As Dynamic","line_number":24},{"filename":"pkg:/source/content-api/tasks/ContentApiTask.brs","function":"$anon_4d2(args As Dynamic) As Dynamic","line_number":48},{"filename":"pkg:/source/content-api/tasks/ContentApiTask.brs","function":"$anon_4d6() As Dynamic","line_number":123},{"filename":"pkg:/source/content-api/service/ContentApiParser.brs","function":"$anon_4b8(json As Dynamic, cardtype As Dynamic, moduletype As Dynamic) As Dynamic","line_number":210},{"filename":"pkg:/source/content-api/service/ContentApiParser.brs","function":"$anon_4b9(json As Dynamic, cardtype As Dynamic, moduletype As Dynamic) As Dynamic","line_number":256},{"filename":"pkg:/source/content-api/service/ContentApiParser.brs","function":"$anon_4bb(json As Dynamic, cardtype As Dynamic) As Dynamic","line_number":296},{"filename":"pkg:/source/content-api/service/ContentApiParser.brs(NaN)","function":"$anon_4bc(json As Dynamic, cardtype As Dynamic) As Dynamic","line_number":324}],"message":"'Dot' Operator attempted with invalid BrightScript Component or interface reference.","number":236,"rethrown":false})
the Brightscript Log should convert this into a more consumable format, at very least linking to the correct .bs lines.. presently we have to go into the build folder and look these up.

Research direction
Start by locating the BrightScript Log handling and stack-trace parsing entry points in the extension. Use the sample backtrace from the issue to trace how generated and source paths are currently handled. Done means printed stack traces resolve to the corresponding .bs source lines and provide usable links from the log.
