Summary

• Problem: Two bundled extensions (twitch and llm-task) import runtime values from ../../../src/ paths that don't exist in npm/brew-installed builds, causing Cannot find module errors
• Why it matters: The twitch extension and llm-task tool are completely broken for all non-source-checkout users (npm, brew, global installs) since at least 2026.2.12
• What changed: Runtime value imports now use the proper export surfaces (openclaw/plugin-sdk/account-id alias for twitch, dist/extensionAPI.js dynamic fallback for llm-task)
• What did NOT change: import type statements still point to src/ — these are erased at compile time and cause no runtime errors. No behavior, config, or API changes.

User-visible / Behavior Changes

• Twitch extension loads successfully on npm/brew installs (was crashing on import)
• llm-task tool works on npm/brew installs (was failing with "Cannot find module")

Security Impact (required)

• New permissions/capabilities? No
• Secrets/tokens handling changed? No
• New/changed network calls? No
• Command/tool execution surface changed? No
• Data access scope changed? No

Repro + Verification

Environment

• OS: Any
• Runtime/container: Node.js (npm/brew global install)
• Model/provider: N/A
• Integration/channel: Twitch, llm-task

Steps

1. npm install -g openclaw@latest
2. Configure twitch channel or call llm-task tool
3. Observe Cannot find module '../../../src/routing/session-key.js' (twitch) or Cannot find module '../../../src/agents/pi-embedded-runner.js' (llm-task)

Expected

• Extensions load and function correctly

Actual

• Both extensions crash with module-not-found errors

Evidence

• Failing test/log before + passing after
• Trace/log snippets
• Screenshot/recording
• Perf numbers (if relevant)

Error logs from issues #19053, #18846, #16182 all show identical Cannot find module errors. After fix: both extensions load without errors.

Root cause in llm-task-tool.ts — the "fallback" import path (line 28) is identical to the primary path (line 17). Both try ../../../src/agents/pi-embedded-runner.js. This is a copy-paste bug. The correct fallback is dist/extensionAPI.js which exports runEmbeddedPiAgent.

Root cause in token.ts — static import from ../../../src/routing/session-key.js which doesn't exist in production builds. The openclaw/plugin-sdk/account-id alias re-exports the same symbols and resolves correctly in both dev and production.

Human Verification (required)

• Verified scenarios: Confirmed dist/plugin-sdk/index.js exports DEFAULT_ACCOUNT_ID and normalizeAccountId; confirmed dist/extensionAPI.js exports runEmbeddedPiAgent; confirmed import type statements are erased at compile time. Both extensions load and initialize successfully after the fix.
• Edge cases checked: Dev environment (src/ path still works as primary for llm-task), type-only imports unaffected, openclaw/plugin-sdk/account-id alias resolves via package.json exports at runtime and tsconfig paths at type-check time
• What you did not verify: Full integration test on npm global install (verified by code inspection and issue reports)

Compatibility / Migration

• Backward compatible? Yes
• Config/env changes? No
• Migration needed? No

Failure Recovery (if this breaks)

• How to disable/revert this change quickly: git revert <commit>
• Files/config to restore: extensions/twitch/src/token.ts, extensions/llm-task/src/llm-task-tool.ts
• Known bad symptoms reviewers should watch for: Module resolution errors mentioning plugin-sdk/account-id or dist/extensionAPI

Risks and Mitigations

• Risk: openclaw/plugin-sdk/account-id alias or dist/extensionAPI.js could be renamed in a future refactor
  • Mitigation: These are public API surfaces used by many extensions (googlechat, IRC, voice-call). Renaming would break all extensions, not just these two.

Note: The same src/-import pattern may affect other extensions (see #15686 which reports memory-core, telegram, voice-call, whatsapp). A follow-up lint rule to flag non-type imports from src/ in extensions/ could prevent recurrence.
