Pull Request Overview

This PR enhances the JavaScript minifier to evaluate String constructor calls with constant arguments at compile time. The improvement transforms String(value) calls into string literals when the argument can be statically evaluated and has no side effects.

• Replaces manual literal checking with constant evaluation for String() calls
• Adds side effect checking to ensure safe transformations
• Extends test coverage for boolean and expression arguments
