fix(push): give the timeplanning sender its own named Firebase app

[renemadsen]

Problem

PushNotificationService creates the unnamed default Firebase app:

if (FirebaseApp.DefaultInstance == null)
{
    FirebaseApp.Create(new AppOptions { Credential = ... });
}

FirebaseApp.DefaultInstance is process-wide. TimePlanning.Pn and BackendConfiguration.Pn are both loaded as plugins into the same eFormAPI.Web host process, and a third sender for flutter-eform is about to be added to BackendConfiguration.Pn. Whichever plugin initialises first wins the default instance; every other sender then silently sends through the first one's Firebase project. Different projects, so every token comes back SenderIdMismatch — which PruneSenderIdMismatchesAsync correctly reads as a credential fault and leaves alone, so it is retried forever and never surfaces as an error.

Second, pre-existing bug

The create has no lock and no double-check. Two concurrent first requests can both pass the null check; the second FirebaseApp.Create throws FirebaseAppAlreadyExistsException, which the constructor's catch turns into _isEnabled = false — that request then silently sends nothing.

Fix

• The sender owns a Firebase app named microting-time (documented const), created with FirebaseApp.Create(options, name).
• Sends go through FirebaseMessaging.GetMessaging(app), never FirebaseMessaging.DefaultInstance.
• Initialisation is a double-checked lock over FirebaseApp.GetInstance(name), which returns null when absent rather than throwing — mirroring AdhocReminderJob.EnsureFirebaseApp in eform-service-backendconfiguration-plugin. Concurrent first requests can no longer disable push.
• A comment at the creation site records why the app is named, so it does not get "simplified" back.

Everything else is unchanged: same credential key, same scoped lifetime, same min-build gating, same AppId filter, same prune set, same silent skip when unconfigured.

Tests

Three new tests in PushNotificationServiceTests (already covered by CI shard f), all driving the real constructor against a synthetic service-account key:

1. initialisation creates the named app and leaves FirebaseApp.DefaultInstance null;
2. a second initialisation reuses the existing app and keeps push enabled — the deterministic form of the race;
3. eight real threads racing the first initialisation all end enabled.

No existing test asserted on the default instance.

🟡 Changes recommended

The new tests assert behavior that the current production PushNotificationService implementation does not provide (still uses FirebaseApp.DefaultInstance/FirebaseMessaging.DefaultInstance), and the concurrency test currently shares EF Core DbContexts across threads, risking flakiness.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

Adds test coverage intended to validate that TimePlanning.Pn’s PushNotificationService owns a dedicated, named Firebase app (and remains enabled under concurrent initialization) to avoid cross-plugin credential contamination in the shared eFormAPI.Web process.

Changes:

• Adds fixture-level Firebase app cleanup and a synthetic service-account configuration helper for exercising real Firebase initialization paths.
• Adds three new tests asserting a named Firebase app is created/reused and that initialization remains enabled under concurrent “first request” conditions.
• Introduces a minimal in-test ILogger implementation to assert initialization produced no errors.

• To keep the concurrency test valid without cross-thread DbContext usage, create and dispose the TimePlanningPnDbContext inside each racing thread before constructing PushNotificationService.

            {
                startLine.SignalAndWait();
                _ = new PushNotificationService(contexts[i], loggers[i]);
            }))

eFormAPI/Plugins/TimePlanning.Pn/TimePlanning.Pn.Test/PushNotificationServiceTests.cs:308

• After moving DbContext creation into each thread, this disposal loop should be removed (each thread disposes its own context).

        foreach (var context in contexts)
        {
            await context.DisposeAsync();
        }
