perf(js): load the ElevenLabs SDK only when voice runs - #933
Conversation
A plain `import "@langwatch/scenario"` pulled 6,144 modules and 237MB of RSS, and 4,972 of those modules were ElevenLabs. Every consumer paid it, including a text-only scenario in a server that never does voice, because index.ts re-exports the voice namespace and the three ElevenLabs leaves imported the SDK at module scope. The SDK now has one seam, voice/elevenlabs-sdk.ts, which imports it inside a function body and exposes structural views of the parts we call. Nothing else names it, so it reaches neither the module graph nor the published declarations until a run actually does speech. Same tree, before and after: 1,495ms -> 405ms, 6,144 -> 1,172 modules, +237MB -> +89MB RSS, 4,972 -> 0 ElevenLabs modules. dist/index.d.ts no longer imports the SDK, which also drops 2,605 declaration files from every consumer's typecheck. No API change: clientFactory still takes an injected client, and the adapter's webSocketFactory and conversationClient still pass through.

ImportDeclaration.moduleSpecifier to flag any `@elevenlabs` package import,
including named, type-only, and side-effect imports, while excluding dynamic
import() expressions; ensure detection is independent for every source file.

remove the unresolved {`@link` ElevenLabsClient} reference, using inline code
formatting for the SDK class name instead; preserve the rest of the
documentation and property behavior.

interfaces for ElevenLabsWebSocketFactory and ElevenLabsConversationClient, then
update the lazy SDK loader return types in
javascript/src/voice/elevenlabs-sdk.ts lines 104-122 to use structural
constructor types instead of any. In javascript/src/voice/adapters/elevenlabs.ts
lines 223-227, change the injected audio-interface constructor parameter to the
shared structural type, preserving the lazy boundary without exposing SDK types.

The guard used .test() on a g-flagged regex, so lastIndex carried between
files and every second offender was skipped, and it matched only the
`from` form, missing a bare side-effect import. It now scans with
matchAll over two patterns, and excludes ';', '(' and ')' so a multi-line
named import still matches while a dynamic import inside a call does not.
Checked against nine forms, including two consecutive offenders.
The pass-through seams get real structural types instead of `object`, and
the loaded runtime a named module interface instead of `any`, so an
injected websocket factory or conversation client is still checked
without the SDK entering the published declarations.

examples/openai-realtime-demo declared @openai/agents but no zod, so pnpm resolved it against the zod 3 the SDK pins, while examples/vitest, which imports the demo's agent, resolved the zod 4 build. Importing @openai/agents/realtime from the zod 3 build throws at module scope building a discriminated union, so tests/scenario-expert-realtime.test.ts failed before it ran a single test. It fails the same way on main. Declaring zod 4 in the demo lines both up on one instance. Verified by importing @openai/agents/realtime under each build: zod 3.25.76 throws, zod 4.4.3 imports. The example suite is now 40 passed, 0 failed, and the realtime test passes end to end against a live key.

import "@langwatch/scenario"loaded the whole ElevenLabs SDK, whether or not the run did any speech. It was 79% of the module graph.Measured, same tree, before and after
The published
dist/index.d.tsalso stops importing the SDK, which takes 2,605 declaration files out of every consumer's typecheck.Why it happened
index.tsre-exports the voice namespace (export * as voice, pluselevenLabsAgenton thescenarioobject), so every consumer reaches the voice subtree. The three ElevenLabs leaves then imported the SDK at module scope, and one of them declaredclass BridgeAudioInterface extends AudioInterfaceat the top level, which needs the SDK at import time.Three optional test seams also carried SDK types into the public declarations:
clientFactory,webSocketFactoryandconversationClient.The change
voice/elevenlabs-sdk.tsis now the only module that names the SDK, and it names it inside function bodies. It exports structural views of the parts we call, so:index.d.ts.webSocketFactoryandconversationClientare typed opaquely because we never call or inspect them, only forward them toConversation. That is a deliberate trade: precise typing on two escape hatches, against 4,972 modules for everyone.A missing package now fails with a message naming it, rather than a bare resolution error.
No API change
clientFactorystill accepts an injected client (a realElevenLabsClientsatisfies the structural type), and the pass-through options still pass through. A caller who supplies no factory now gets the SDK loaded on first use instead of at import.@elevenlabs/elevenlabs-jsstays a normal dependency, so voice users need to install nothing. Moving it to an optional peer would cut install size too, but that is a breaking change for them and is not needed for anything measured here.Verification
