Describe the issue
The production builds reference sourcemaps due to trailing comments.
bootstrap.bundle.min.js:
//# sourceMappingURL=bootstrap.bundle.min.js.map
bootstrap.min.css:
/*# sourceMappingURL=bootstrap.min.css.map */
That unfortunately spams the devtools console on every page load. Example from my dev machine::
Source map error: Error: request failed with status 404
Resource URL: http://localhost:80/bootstrap.min.css
Source Map URL: bootstrap.min.css.map
The production build should not have source map support, because it's unnecessary, it spams the console and generates significantly more traffic. (CDN-served assets also have sourcemaps in production builds.)
Reduced test cases
- Reference minified css and js files, either from local sources or CDN
- Open devtools console - errors
- Measure traffic - much more traffic as those map files are huge

Research direction
Start by inspecting how the production assets bootstrap.bundle.min.js and bootstrap.min.css are generated, then compare their trailing sourceMappingURL comments with the reported console behavior. Verify the built local and CDN-served files no longer reference sourcemaps and that loading them does not request the .map files or produce source-map errors.
