Research direction
The issue requests replacing `prepack` with `prepackFromAst` to enable source map generation. Investigate the current usage of `prepack` in the plugin's source code (likely in the main entry file). Review the prepack API documentation for `prepackFromAst` to understand its parameters and how to integrate it. Check existing comments or linked issues for additional context.
