I am trying to avoid the minification that happens to 'kibana.bundle.js' when we make a kibana build in kibana 6.1.3. Can anyone tell me where should i look for it ?. The 'kibana.bundle.js' inside kibana6/optimize/ is readable though.

Minification is done with the Terser plugin here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/optimize/base\_optimizer.js#L499](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/optimize/base_optimizer.js#L499)
