Try changing to const === variable. That’s most likely what’s it doing to minimize the risk of accidental assignment.

Wut? This is an automated optimizer. It is not worried about accidental assignment.

I agree it shouldn’t. But I’ve seen linters that automatically change it since they seem to be forcing practical conventions sometimes.

Linters and minifers are completely different tools.
