cometchat-flutter-v6-placement

Ground truth: every widget below is in catalogs/flutter-v6.json. The recipes follow the official guides (flutter-tab-based-chat · multi-tab-chat-ui-guide · flutter-conversation · flutter-one-to-one-chat) via ../cometchat-flutter-v6-core/references/docs-map.md. Sizing follows the ONE mobile standard in ../cometchat-flutter-v6-core/references/layout.md — change sizing rules THERE, not here.

Companion skills (read first)

• cometchat-flutter-v6-core — install, credentials, init→login→render, the golden-path screens. This skill ASSUMES it.
• cometchat-flutter-v6-components — the widget catalog these compose.

Use this skill when

Deciding or wiring WHERE chat lives — either (a) growing the core surface into the full tab-based app, or (b) a scoped-down placement: a chat tab in an existing app, a modal/bottom sheet, or an embedded panel. A plain unscoped "add chat" is NOT this skill — that is the core surface in -core.

Prerequisites & install

Covered by core. No new package.

The one invariant every placement shares

Mobile shows one screen at a time, so placement is a NAVIGATION problem, not a column problem:

1. Bounded height — every kit list needs Expanded/Flexible or a fixed height. Unbounded ⇒ exception or a zero-height list.
2. Scaffold + SafeArea, resizeToAvoidBottomInset left at true.
3. Round-trip — everything you push must pop back to the state that opened it.
4. One init/login gate at the root, not per screen (core's lifecycle.md).
