cometchat-react-native-v5-sdk

Add voice & video calling to a React Native app FROM SCRATCH with the headless CometChat Calls SDK v5 (`@cometchat/calls-sdk-react-native@5`) — no prebuilt UI Kit. init→login→generateToken→render `<CometChatCalls.Component>`, granular event listeners, in-call actions (mute/video/layout/record/raise-hand), meet-style session rooms AND 1:1 ringing (Chat SDK signaling + Calls SDK media). Triggers: 'add calling from scratch react native', 'standalone video call RN', 'headless calls sdk react native', 'build my own call screen', 'meeting room join by session id RN', 'one-on-one ringing call without uikit RN', 'expo video call'.

> **Ground truth:** `@cometchat/calls-sdk-react-native@5` + catalog `rn-calls-v5.json` (the closed symbol list — every `CometChatCalls.*` below exists in it). Official docs: `/calls/react-native/**` = **v5** · Docs MCP. Fetch exact `sessionSettings` fields, event names and action signatures from the docs (`references/docs-map.md`) — never memory. **APPEND to the user's app — additive wiring only** (`RULES.md`). This is the HEADLESS path (no UI Kit); for the prebuilt drop-in call UI use `cometchat-react-native-calls` instead.

## Companion skills (read first)
- **Standalone/headless entry** — this skill owns its own package (the Calls SDK) and has no `-core` sibling; it is self-contained for meet-style calling.
- **For 1:1 RINGING only** it also drives the **Chat SDK** (`@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native@4`) for call signaling — signatures fetched from docs via `references/docs-map.md` (§ "1:1 RINGING"). It does NOT depend on the React Native UI Kit.
- **Prefer the UI Kit instead?** If the app also wants chat and a prebuilt call UI, use `cometchat-react-native-core` + `cometchat-react-native-calls` — not this skill.

## Use this skill when
"add calling from scratch / without the UI Kit", "standalone voice/video in React Native", "build my own call screen", "headless calls SDK", "meeting-room join by session id", "one-on-one ringing call". Precondition: the caller chose the **from-scratch / standalone** path (the "add calling" router asks this). If they want the prebuilt call UI, route to `cometchat-react-native-calls`.

## Prerequisites & install
```bash
npm install @cometchat/calls-sdk-react-native@5
