Please confirm that you have:

• Searched existing issues to see if your issue is a duplicate. (If you’ve found a duplicate issue, feel free to add additional information in a comment on it.)
• Reproduced the issue in the latest CLI version.

In which of these areas are you experiencing a problem?

Theme

Expected behavior

Scripts work as normal

Actual behavior

Despite having .min.js in the filename the script appears to get modified when served via the CLI. I'm guessing in attempt to minimise it?
I've attached the before and after of what's happening so that you can compare.

Code chopped off / removed

Nevermind, fixed in pull #4494

Using

npm i -g @shopify/[email protected]

temporarily

The same. The CLI chopped my code. My original code:
_esModule",{value:!0}),e}({},Vue);

When I preview the dev store in http://127.0.0.1:9293, the code in my app extension becomes:
_esModule",{value:!0}),e}({},Vu

As a result, it gives me a syntax error because the ')' is missing. I am using Mac OS with CLI of 3.67.2, node v22.5.1.

I am migrating from a remote CLI login to a local CLI (issue: 4495). And it gives me this issue again. Please give me a way out
