Research direction

Start at the R package's partial_bundle() entry point, tracing the auto and main bundle selection and how minified is passed through. Exercise both modes with minified = FALSE and verify that the resulting asset is not plotly-latest.min.js; check the package's relevant tests for where this behavior belongs.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As the title describes, when using "auto" (defaulting to main) or directly using "main" when calling partial_bundle(), the "minified" argument is lost and the result always uses the minified plotly-latest.min.js

FWIW it might also be better to adhere to the shiny.minified option rather than having to call partial_bundle() at all.

Discovered while tracing a javascript issue with plotlyProxy relayout.
