Disable minification by default #1093

Description

@aleclarson

Minifying a library is actively hostile to patching tools like patch-package, pnpm-patch-i, etc. It makes patches impossible to create without cloning the library and running its build step. On top of that, the patches produced are minified, so they're impossible to read and maintain.

There's no discernible benefit to a minified library. The improvement in download times is negligible. Bundlers like Vite/Webpack/etc already handle minification for user-facing applications.
