Chip in CF seat stay?

I had a pantsfull of bad luck last Sat AM on my way to a club ride. You can read the tragic details in the post referenced here.

https://www.bikeforums.net/bicycle-mechanics/590873-catastrophic-rear-derailer-failure.html

The question is when the RD exploded something chipped the top of the seat stay about 3" above the dropout and chipped the CF. Can that/should that be inspected and repaired? The chip is more than paint.

If so, where do I find a shop that can repair it?

Thanks in advance.

Take or send the bike to the company/dealer that sold/made it. They can answer your question correctly. All other answers are just opinions. Roger
