cometchat-android-v6-compose-placement

Where the CometChat Android v6 chat UI goes in a Jetpack Compose app — the default conversations→message NavHost flow, growing to the tab-based app (chats/users/groups/calls + detail, thread and search routes + incoming calls), a single one-to-one screen, or chat embedded in an existing composable, with a correct back stack and IME handling. Triggers: 'cometchat compose navigation', 'chat screen navhost', 'tab based chat compose', 'embed cometchat in a composable', 'full chat app jetpack compose'.

> **Ground truth:** catalog `android-v6.json` + `contracts.android-v6.json` (`core-chat-surface`, `chat-experience`) + the docs recipes (`conversation-message-view`, `tab-based-chat`, `one-to-one-chat` — Compose tab). Param shapes verified against the INSTALLED 6.0.5 Compose source.
>
> ⚠<U+FE0F> **Jetpack Compose cohort.** Screens are composables on a `NavHost`. The Views cohort (Activities + XML) is a separate skill.

## Companion skills (read first)
- `cometchat-android-v6-core` — install, credentials, `initFromSettings → login → render`, and **`references/layout.md`** (the ONE sizing standard). Sizing rules live THERE.
- `cometchat-android-v6-compose-components` — the param conventions (`onX` / `hideX` / `@Composable` slots).

## Use this skill when
"add a chat route to my NavHost", "build the full chat app in Compose", "open a chat screen for this user", "embed the conversation list in an existing composable", "the composer is under the keyboard".

## Prerequisites & install

> ⚠<U+FE0F> **Required on Compose too:** `configurations.all { exclude(group = "org.jetbrains", module = "annotations-java5") }` plus `android.useAndroidX=true` + `android.enableJetifier=true` in `gradle.properties`. The collision arrives via `chatuikit-core-android`, which BOTH cohorts pull, so a Compose-only app fails its FIRST build without them (~40 `Duplicate class` errors). Full block: `cometchat-android-v6-core` §Prerequisites & install.
