Check Firebase Realtime Database in your own stack
This page checks Firebase Realtime Database in general. Your repo pins specific versions: the free dependency check reads your manifests and lists what to fix first. Prism Agent runs the same live checks on your whole stack and turns them into a plan your coding agent can build.
