Put the bug report behind an always-available button.

The debug report was only reachable in DEBUG mode, which is the one mode
a player hitting a real bug won't be running. Move it to a "🐛 Report a
bug" item in the game menu: a note field, a download, and a copy-as-text,
on any server.

That knowingly shows the reporter their opponents' hands and the shop
deck order. Credentials are still required, so a report only ever reaches
someone seated at that table. The buy-any-card panel stays DEBUG-only —
it changes the game; a report only reads it.
