Help needed

Description

I have tried to replicate my minimal local build exclusion problem in https://github.com/pranavburnwal/serverless-webpack-debug
Once the minimised build is done, even though aws-sdk v3 is excluded, it still includes it.
Ref: https://github.com/pranavburnwal/serverless-webpack-debug/tree/main#serverless-webpack-debug
Have tried all possible solutions, it still packs @AWS-SDK in.
