On a brand new 5.8.1 project I tried to follow these instructions for enabling hifi sourcemaps: https://nullvoxpopuli.com/2023-12-19-hifi-sourcemap/

This didn't seem to make any change in the sourcemap situation.

In the Ember Discord NullVoxPopuli let me know that "non-embroider sourcemaps are kinda borked" and that "the solution is embroider" (https://discord.com/channels/480462759797063690/1237817026899349575/1237826401386631278).

I'm guessing the team is already aware that hifi sourcemaps are impossible to achieve with the defaults that come with a new app, but I can't find any mention of that anywhere on the public web, so I'm mainly opening this issue as a way for other people to be able to find this info.
