…996) The v7 plugin docs contradicted each other on whether custom plugins override built-in ones. overview.mdx and custom-plugin.mdx claimed custom plugins are "appended after the defaults" so "default plugins keep priority", while text-formatters.mdx claimed they are "prepended before the defaults" and take precedence. Verified against the shipped @cometchat/chat-uikit-react v7.1.0 source: - CometChatProvider builds `[...plugins, ...defaultPlugins]` (user plugins first) - CometChatPluginRegistry resolves with `.find()` (first match wins) So custom plugins ARE prepended and DO take precedence — text-formatters.mdx was correct. Fix overview.mdx and custom-plugin.mdx to match, and add a note that precedence is by plugin order + messageTypes/messageCategories, not `id`.

What & why
Fixes ENG-37996 — the React UI Kit v7 plugin docs contradicted each other on whether a custom plugin overrides a built-in one:
ui-kit/react/plugins/overview.mdxui-kit/react/plugins/custom-plugin.mdxui-kit/react/plugins/text-formatters.mdxTwo pages said defaults win; one said the custom plugin wins. Since resolution is explicitly "first match wins", they can't all be true.
Ground truth (verified against the shipped package)
Confirmed against
@cometchat/chat-uikit-reactv7.1.0 (npm tarball), not inference:CometChatProviderbuilds the registry as[...plugins, ...defaultPlugins]— user-suppliedpluginscome first, defaults after (dist/index.js:6099).CometChatPluginRegistryresolves a message with.find(...)— first match wins, scanning from index 0 (dist/index.js:350).So custom plugins are prepended and do take precedence.
text-formatters.mdxwas the correct page;overview.mdxandcustom-plugin.mdxwere wrong.Changes
overview.mdx— "Adding Plugins" now says custom plugins are prepended and take priority (enabling override of a built-in by declaring the samemessageTypes/messageCategories); added a resolution note that precedence is by plugin order +messageTypes/messageCategories, notid.custom-plugin.mdx— Step 2 explanation corrected to "prepended before the defaults", with a note on how to override a built-in type.text-formatters.mdx— already correct; added a missing trailing period only.Scope / notes
idclarification. The remaining ticket recommendations (index the v7 source into the KB, boost v7 doc ranking, update the validation critic's ground-truth) are AI-knowledge-base tasks, not docs edits, and are out of scope for this PR.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
