ok i finally found a solution for my actual problem:
the dce step would remove some methods.
I first thought the method is simply renamed so i tried to find out how to avoid the method is removed. But as @Robert Jaros pointed out, when using @JsName the method named isn;t mangled and indeed i can find some emthods from my code with the correct name in the resulting bundle. I thought configuring the terser plugin is the way to go, but didn't work out becasue the config in webpack.config.d is ignored.

But then i found out: its indeed dce that removes the method! i tried dceTask{keep{..}} but couldn;'t make it work.
No i finally figured: the methods removed reside in the default package.

So the question is: is it a bug or a feature that you cannot keep a mthod from the default package?

You could try the new JS IR compiler. No DCE settings needed there. But code splitting becomes tricky.

js(IR) { … } instead of js { … }
