 ## Step 6 — Method renames + receiver shift (Android-specific)
 
-v5 moved most call-control APIs from static methods on `CometChatCalls` to **instance methods on `CallSession`** (the object returned by `joinSession`'s callback). The static `endSession()` is the only one preserved as a deprecated shim — the others throw "method not found" if you keep the v4 receiver.
+v5 moved call-control APIs from static methods on `CometChatCalls` to **instance methods on `CallSession`** (the object returned by `joinSession`'s callback). Session teardown moved from the v4 static `CometChatCalls.endSession()` to the instance method `callSession.leaveSession()` — this is what both calls-sdk-android sample apps use and what the migration guide maps it to. Keep a reference to the `CallSession` (or use `CallSession.getInstance()`); v4 static receivers throw "method not found" against the v5 SDK.

The Gradle plugin `com.cometchat.builder.settings:5.0.1` auto-generates a `CometChatBuilderSettings` constants class from `cometchat-builder-settings.json` at build time. The plugin's output is plain Kotlin `object` declarations — usable from both V5 Views (the canonical path) and V6 Compose / Kotlin Views code, though V6 deps need to be added separately to a V6 project.
 
-**The full recipe lives in `cometchat-android-v6-core` §"Visual Builder integration"** because that's where the V6-prep restructure originally landed the validated content. Both skills reference the same canonical; the V6 page carries a "V5-shaped code" warning at the top. V5 customers should follow that recipe AS-IS — it targets V5 deps natively (no shim needed).
+> **➡️ FOLLOW THE FULL RECIPE IN `cometchat-android-v6-core` §"Visual Builder integration" AS-IS.** That page holds the complete validated content (`builder export` flow, the Place + patch table, the F50/F51 `BuilderSettingsHelper.kt` transforms, the default Views `MessagesActivity` surface, the Files-patched table). Both skills reference the same V5-shaped canonical, so V5 customers follow it verbatim — it targets V5 deps natively (no shim needed). The only V5-specific deltas are listed under "Differences" below.

+- **`settings.gradle.kts` — add the Cloudsmith Maven repo `maven("https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/cometchat/cometchat/maven/")` to BOTH `pluginManagement.repositories` AND `dependencyResolutionManagement.repositories`.** Without it in `pluginManagement`, the `com.cometchat.builder.settings:5.0.1` plugin fails to resolve (`Plugin [id: 'com.cometchat.builder.settings', version: '5.0.1'] was not found`); without it in `dependencyResolutionManagement`, the `chat-uikit-android` / `calls-sdk-android` artifacts fail to resolve. This matches the canonical repo's `settings.gradle.kts` (Cloudsmith present in both blocks).
 - Envelope-wrapped `cometchat-builder-settings.json` (`{ builderId, name, settings: {...} }` — NOT raw settings blob)
 - Two missing-field defaults injected pre-write: `chatFeatures.deeperUserEngagement.mentionAll: true` + `chatFeatures.inAppSounds: { incomingMessageSound: true, outgoingMessageSound: true }`
 - `android.enableJetifier=true` in `gradle.properties`
