If you add something like
let test = 'hello'; console.log( test );
to Special:MyPage/common.js you'll get
JavaScript parse error: Parse error: Missing ; before statement in file '<file>' on line 1
This is expected per T75714 and not what this bug is about. However, if you preview your /common.js with this code, it actually does work. This suggests that previewed JavaScript does not go through ResourceLoader's minifier.
