This PR implements browser push notifications for CodeNearby using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). It includes:
Client-side: permission flow, token management, foreground handlers, and UI components to prompt users and manage notification preferences
Server-side: helper to send pushes with Firebase Admin, guarded initialization when credentials are missing, and API routes to persist tokens & settings
Integrations: wired notifications on friend requests, gathering chat, and direct messages; guarded database/firebase usage to avoid startup crashes when envs are missing
Actions for the author / maintainer (priority order)
-Provide secrets for real testing
-Add Firebase client vars to environment for the deployment
-Add Firebase Admin credentials: FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID, FIREBASE_CLIENT_EMAIL, FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY (replace newlines with \n when pasting into env).
-Ensure MONGODB_URI points to a running DB.
-Service worker config (required)
-Replace the placeholders in [firebase-messaging-sw.js] with real Firebase client config at build time, or add a build script that generates [firebase-messaging-sw.js] from NEXT_PUBLIC_* env vars (I can implement this if you want).
-Validate end-to-end flow locally
Run: npm run dev
-Sign in, go to Profile → Edit → Notifications, enable permissions.
-From another account or via app flows, trigger:
Direct message to a user
Friend request
Gathering chat message
Verify notifications appear in foreground and background and that notification clicks navigate correctly.
Security & review
Confirm no secrets were committed (PR contains placeholders only).
Review server send logic in lib/push-notifications-server.ts for payload shape & error handling.
Optionally run a linter/TS check: npm run lint / npm run build.
