Build-your-own-UI calling with cometchat_calls_sdk 5.0.7 — NOT the UI Kit calling path (that is cometchat-flutter-v6-calls). Every id below is backed by a symbol in test-suite/catalogs/flutter-calls-v5.json (59 COMPILER-VERIFIED of 89 declared) and a page under /calls/flutter/, EXCEPT call-transcription, which shipped in 5.0.7 and has no docs page yet (DOCS-BACKLOG D3). RE-DERIVED against the shipped Dart package, not copied from ios-calls-v5: Flutter's joinSession hands back a `Widget?` instead of mounting into a platform view, listeners are ABSTRACT CLASSES you extend rather than protocols you conform to (and, contrary to every page on the tree, are NOT constructible with named callbacks), and the surface adds four things iOS does not have — toggle/alias action pairs, a virtual-background settings panel, an Android foreground-service (CometChatOngoingCallService) for backgrounded calls, and an in-call chat button. It still lacks presentation mode, which ships no Dart type at all.",

Teardown is TWO-SDK: CallSession.getInstance()?.leaveSession() AND CometChat.endCall(sessionId). Cancelling an OUTGOING call also goes through rejectCall(sessionId, CometChatCallStatus.cancelled) — there is no cancelCall. TWO MORE Chat-SDK shapes the docs get wrong: `Call` takes NAMED required params (receiverUid/receiverType/type), not the positional Call(receiverID, receiverType, callType) the page shows; and `CallListener` is a MIXIN, so `CallListener(onIncomingCallReceived: ...)` does not compile either — `class X with CallListener` and override."

Control: CallSession.getInstance()?.startTranscription()/stopTranscription(), the isTranscribing getter, and SessionSettingsBuilder ..enableAutoStartTranscription(bool) / ..hideTranscriptionButton(bool) / ..hideClosedCaptionButton(bool) / ..setCaptionLanguage(String). ⚠️ BOTH buttons are HIDDEN BY DEFAULT, so wiring the UI without passing false gives a control that can never appear. Retrieval: TranscriptRequestBuilder()..setSessionId(id)..setLimit(n) -> build() -> fetchNext(onSuccess:onError:)/fetchPrevious(onSuccess:onError:) (defaultLimit 30, maxLimit 1000) — same callback shape as CallLogRequest.fetchNext, and like it they ALSO return the Future<List<Transcript>>, so either channel works but the callbacks are REQUIRED.
