Reproduction Example/SDK Setup

I've seen cause being reported in the past when they were of type "error", but when they are simply structured data, it doesn't seem to be reported anywhere.
Although according to MDN, this should be allowed
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error/cause#providing_structured_data_as_the_error_cause

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Throw an error with a cause as structured data, such as
throw new Error('Custom error with structured cause', {
        cause: {
          booleanValue: true
          text: 'message',
          array: [1, 2, 3]
        },
      })
  1. Notice the cause never shows up in the web interface for the reported error

Expected Result

The cause should show up

Actual Result

The cause doesn't show up in the reported error, so it removes ability to properly debug things.
