cometchat-react-v7-push

Add web push notifications to a React app with the CometChat v7 SDK — FCM via Firebase, registered through CometChatNotifications, with the Dashboard FCM provider as the sender. THIN + docs-first: the full setup is FETCHED from CometChat's notifications docs; this skill bakes only the hardening deltas + the token lifecycle. Triggers: 'add push notifications', 'web push', 'FCM push', 'notify on new message when app closed', 'cometchat push react'.

> **Ground truth — DOCS-FIRST.** Push is an EXTERNAL integration (Firebase/FCM + a service worker + a Dashboard FCM provider), not a UI Kit component. The full, current setup lives in **CometChat's notifications docs — FETCH them, don't bake a recipe here**: via `cometchat-react-v7-core/references/docs-map.md` → `/notifications/push-overview` · `/notifications/web-push-notifications` · `/notifications/preferences`. This skill is THIN: it points you at those docs as the SOURCE and bakes ONLY the hardening deltas + the exact SDK symbols (verified vs installed `@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript`). **Symbols are baked; the step-by-step is fetched.**

## Companion skills (read first)
- `cometchat-react-v7-core` — install, credentials, `init→login→render`. This skill ASSUMES it (push registers AFTER login, on the SAME SDK).

## Use this skill when
"add push notifications", "web push", "notify me on a new message when the app is closed", "FCM push". For a NON-web platform (Android/iOS/RN/Flutter) push differs — that's not this skill.

## Build it — FETCH the docs, then apply the deltas
1. **FETCH the setup from the docs** (source of truth): `{DOCS_BASE}/notifications/web-push-notifications.md` (+ `push-overview.md`) via `docs-map.md`. Follow its Firebase project + FCM setup, the `firebase-messaging-sw.js` service worker, and the client registration flow. **Build FROM the docs; if the docs are wrong/missing a detail, that's a DOCS gap — flag it (RULES §20), don't bake a permanent workaround.**
2. **Dashboard prerequisite:** set up the **FCM provider in the CometChat Dashboard** (it is the SENDER). Self-hosted VAPID / a custom webhook is NOT the v7 web path. Confirm this is done or push delivers nothing.
3. **Install:** `npm i firebase@^10.3.1` (the FCM web SDK). `CometChatNotifications` ships with the already-installed `@cometchat/chat-sdk-javascript` — no extra CometChat package.

## Baked SDK symbols (verified vs installed 7.1.x SDK — do NOT guess these)
