In static/package.json there is a loader: "html-minify-loader". It's not maintained for many years.

When I look into the webpack docs, there are 3 others: https://webpack.js.org/plugins/html-minimizer-webpack-plugin/

So, whatever is really going on, to me it looks like we have switch this html minimize loader.

ATTN: we no longer use webpack!! We have switched to rspack.

See https://rspack.dev/plugins/index

The PR just completely breaks everything involving html. In particular, Sage worksheets don't load anymore. I checked and whatever you were doing replaced the contents of the file with the name of the file, hence doesn't work. I've reverted that PR, since I wasn't able to find a better approach in a short amount of time.

When we next work on this, there is one obvious test to do before considering it solved: actually open a sage worksheet.
