Research direction

Review the build configuration and UMD-bundle entry points; the issue names no files or tests, so first trace where google-closure-compiler is invoked. Compare the webpack + Terser and tsc options in the linked PR discussion, and consider the work done when the dependency is removed and UMD bundles still build.
