3. Add your app domain to Authorized domains:
   • localhost
   • your Vercel domain (for example collisions.vercel.app)

Minimal Firestore rule for authenticated app users

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /tables/{tableId} {
      allow read: if true;
      allow create, update: if request.auth != null;
    }
  }
}
