"--miniprot Use Miniprot gene predictor (default for eukaryota in genome mode)."
The tool uses v5.5.0 and from v5.0.0 until 5.7.0, metauk is the default for eukaryotes (now miniprot).
There is no miniprot output from the tool unless no other predictor parameter is issued (maybe --augustus takes priority but I couldn't find any documentation on this).
I don't think --miniprot should be a binary parameter or described as output: https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/b21f516390fcbbe3c098266ff0d72e64924aab00/tools/busco/busco.xml#L114
From the documentation for BUSCO (https://busco.ezlab.org/busco_userguide.html), there are three modes for gene 'prediction': miniprot, metauk, or augustus.

This is partially linked to this issue, involving a gff output that only captures data for metauk: https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/issues/6132#issue-2394383996
