Framework wiring for the React v7 UI Kit across Vite, Create React App, Next.js, React Router (incl. Remix), and Astro — provider placement, env vars, routing, SSR/islands and build pitfalls. Triggers: 'cometchat with vite', 'cometchat in next.js', 'cometchat in react router', 'cometchat in remix', 'cometchat in astro', 'env vars not working', 'cometchat provider setup', 'SSR window is not defined'.

> **Ground truth:** `@cometchat/chat-uikit-react@7`. Framework mechanics (env prefixes, SSR) are baked framework knowledge; kit symbols come from `cometchat-react-v7-core`. Status: **catalog-verified vs installed 7.1.0 (exports-only web-v7.json).**

## Companion skills (read first)
- `cometchat-react-v7-core` — install, provider, `init→login→render`. This skill ASSUMES it.

## Use this skill when
Wiring the UI Kit into a specific React toolchain, or debugging env/routing/SSR issues.

## Prerequisites & install
Covered by core. No new package.

## Framework wiring (BAKED — the delta per toolchain; full recipe = fetch the docs integration page)
- **Vite:** env in `.env` with `VITE_` prefix; read via `import.meta.env.VITE_COMETCHAT_*`. init/login in an app-startup effect; mount `CometChatProvider` above the chat routes. **Brownfield gotcha (AUDIT-037/066):** if the `vite/client` types aren't wired, `import.meta.env` is untyped → strict-TS build fails `TS2339: Property 'env' does not exist on ImportMeta`. Scaffolds wire `vite/client` differently by Vite version — older ones ship `src/vite-env.d.ts` (`/// <reference types="vite/client" />`), newer ones (Vite 8+) put `"vite/client"` in the `types` array of `tsconfig.app.json`. **Don't assume either is present — CHECK, then ensure `vite/client` is referenced:** add `/// <reference types="vite/client" />` at the top of the env-reading file (self-contained, works regardless of Vite version), or add `"vite/client"` to `tsconfig.app.json` `compilerOptions.types`, or create `src/vite-env.d.ts`.
- **Create React App:** env with `REACT_APP_` prefix; read via `process.env.REACT_APP_*`.
