Debug
Known issues

affects: =0.1.0
breakingPlugin may require specific esbuild version (>=0.8) but not enforced.
fix
Ensure esbuild is at least 0.8.x.
affects: =0.1.0
gotchaInline sourcemaps option defaults to false; enabling may affect build performance.
fix
Set inlineSourcemap: true only for development builds.
