Error message

Status 401: Invalid session

What it means

buildAndroidRunner gates on IsTermuxInstalled(); any error from the pm query OR a negative result returns this error, since the runner must be compiled by Termux's clang against the downloaded python headers. The error deliberately conflates 'check failed' and 'not installed' — both block the build.

Solutions

1. Install the official Termux app from F-Droid (Play Store build is outdated) and retry
2. If Termux IS installed, debug the pm query itself — the wrapped err path also lands here (see the 'failed to query package manager' error) so test `pm list packages | grep termux` in the same shell
3. For forks/renamed packages, patch the detection to check multiple package ids or a filesystem probe of /data/data/com.termux
4. Run the g4f-go binary from inside Termux so PATH and pm access behave as expected

Example fix

// before
if ok, err := IsTermuxInstalled(); err != nil || !ok {
    return fmt.Errorf("Termux is required to build the python runner (install com.termux and retry)")
}

// after — distinguish check failure from absence, and accept forks
if err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("termux check failed: %w", err)
}
if !ok {
    if _, statErr := os.Stat("/data/data/com.termux"); statErr != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("Termux is required to build the python runner (install com.termux and retry)")
    }
}

if runtime.GOOS == "android" {
    if _, err := os.Stat("/data/data/com.termux"); err != nil {
        // surface a clear prerequisite error before attempting the build
        return fmt.Errorf("Termux app required: install com.termux and retry")
    }
}

ok, err := IsTermuxInstalled()
if err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("termux detection failed (pm unavailable?): %w", err)
}
if !ok {
    return fmt.Errorf("Termux is required to build the python runner (install com.termux and retry)")
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the runtime setup on Android without the Termux app installed; running in an adb shell where pm is unavailable (so err != nil); Termux installed under a different package name (F-Droid build com.termux vs forks); pm output not containing 'com.termux'.

Common situations: Users on stock Android without Termux expecting the Go binary to be self-contained; Termux forks (e.g. com.termux.x11 variants) not matching the hardcoded package string; rooted-ROM users where pm is restricted.
