Rolldown uses Oxc Minifier under the hood. See Oxc's [minification documentation](https://oxc.rs/docs/guide/usage/minifier#features) for more details.

* `true`: Enable full minification including code compression and dead code elimination
* `false`: Disable minification
* `'dce-only'`: Only perform dead code elimination without code compression (default)
* `MinifyOptions`: Fine-grained control over minification settings

## Default

```ts
'dce-only'
```
