The minchat chinuch in mitzvah 17 [subsection 14] makes the following comment (my free translation), "it appears in truth that a minor is subject to commandments, just that it's not applicable to say that the Torah warns him, since he is not a being of wisdom (bar daat) but in truth he is bound to mitzvot." Any earlier articulation of this concept?

See igros moshe when he discusses the schar for mitzvos done while a person
is a katon.
He says they receive schar as a mitzuveh v'oseh ! (not as an aino mitzuve
v'oseh)

But what about saying that it's only medin chinukh and only derabbanan?
The MC is machmir?
Wouldn't this mean that a qatan is just as chayav as a gadol, and the only
difference in onesheim? Nowadays, without BD, even that's moot.
