Builds failing with error: Binding not found for ReferencedIdentifier "createOption" present in "AssignmentExpression"

[hasan-rahman]

Our builds started failing yesterday. When we override @babel/traverse to 7.25.9, the builds are working fine. @babel/traverse v7.26.3 seems to be the culprit.

1. Minimal code to reproduce the bug
   Angular app running Storybook

2. Stack Trace

Error: /azp/_work/1/s/tools/src/storybook/argTypes/api.ts: Binding not found for ReferencedIdentifier "createOption" present in "AssignmentExpression". Please report this at https://github.com/babel/minify/issues/new

##[error]Bash exited with code '1'.

4. Configuration - babel-minify configuration or babelrc

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    [
      'inline-dotenv',
      {
        unsafe: true,
      },
    ],
  ],
  presets: [
    ['minify'],
    '@babel/preset-env',
    '@babel/preset-typescript',
    '@babel/preset-react',
  ],
};

6. Whether you used it with other presets/plugins - like es2015 or env
   See below

7. Environment: gulp, rollup, webpack, babel-cli, etc...?

"@babel/cli": "^7.13.0",
"@babel/core": "^7.14.0",
"@babel/eslint-parser": "^7.21.3",
"@babel/preset-env": "^7.14.0",
"@babel/preset-react": "^7.13.0",
"@babel/preset-typescript": "^7.13.0",

Did you try upgrading to @babel/traverse 7.26.4?
