The `buildTarget` option in the `unit-test` builder is now optional to streamline the user configuration. If the `buildTarget` option is not provided, the builder now defaults to using the `build` target with the `development` configuration for the current project. This change significantly reduces the boilerplate configuration needed in `angular.json` for most projects, as the builder can now infer the correct build settings by convention. The builder's schema has been updated to reflect this change by removing `buildTarget` from the required properties and updating its description to document the new default behavior.
