Description

I'm getting a library_core_files error for polyfill.js (.min.js and .map) in the plugin. However the polyfill is something completely different than WP's polyfill.js

Research direction

Start by tracing the library_core_files check and how it identifies polyfill.js, including its .min.js and .map variants. Confirm the behavior against a plugin polyfill that differs from WordPress's core file, then add coverage showing that unrelated files are not reported.
