And note that the bonus chronicle fits into the first gap in the character's progression, based on what level the character is when you apply the chronicles - ie, is the character a brand new, 0xp, or already 1st or 2nd level? Based on the level when you apply each chronicle, you will hit a gap where the next "regular" chronicle can't be applied yet, so that is where you put the bonus chronicle.

I have never seen that rule, but the rule I know about is that the bonus chronicle only supports being applied at 2nd, 4th, or 6th level, not at 1st, 3rd, 5th or 7th.
Chronicles:
1-3
3-5
5-7
2, 4, or 6
You will usually apply the chronicles in the following orders:
PC level 1 at at start:
1-3 (2)
2, 4, 6 (3)
3-5 (4)
Gap
5-7 pending non-DD level
PC level 2 at start:
A)
1-3 (3)
3-5 (4)
2, 4, or 6 (5)
5-7 (6)
B)
2, 4, or 6 (3)
1-3 (4)
3-5 (5)
5-7 (6)
End result is almost identical, although the second one would have less gold at the end.
PC level 3 at at start:
A)
1-3 (4)
3-5 (5)
5-7 (6)
2, 4 or 6 (7)
B)
1-3 (4)
2, 4, or 6 (5)
3-5 (6)
5-7 (7)
Again, same end result, but the second one would have less gold at the end than the first one.

When playing in the home game or "campaign mode" style, the player should receive the Chronicles all at once. In this way, the Chronicle sheets apply immediately as soon as each one is applicable. The only way to add Chronicle sheets in between would be to have applied all of the sheets that you could and still need to gain another level to qualify for the next.
Example:
– I play the whole thing and apply the credit to a 1st level character.
– I must immediately apply sheet #1 (Tier 1–3) and sheet #4 (Tiers 2, 4, or 6 only), bringing me to level 3. Once that happens, I qualify to receive sheet #2 (Tier 3–5), bringing me to level 4.
– I cannot yet apply sheet #3 (Tier 5–7) because I am only level 4. I can now play whatever I want until I reach 12 XP, at which point I am level 5, and sheet #5 applies immediately.Think of it sort of like applying GM credit to a character who is not yet of the appropriate level. You apply everything you can and then hold the rest in reserve until you would legally qualify for them.

Doesn't work with the chronicle sheet, since there is no way, under your interpretation, to ever apply the 2, 4, or 6 sheet at level 6.
1st level PC: must apply the sheet at level 2, as the second chronicle
2nd level PC: must apply the sheet at level 2, as the first chronicle
3rd level PC: must apply the sheet at level 4. as the second chronicle
So, per this, no one could ever apply the 2, 4, or 6 chronicle at 6th level, as the PC cannot be higher than 3rd level to get the bonus chronicle.

Its not my interpretation, it is a direct quote, but I don't follow what your saying. (Reading through the thread linked may shed more light)
A 1st level PC applies the sheets:
Tier 1-3 (putting them at 2nd level)
Bonus Chronicle 2,4,6 (putting them at 3rd)
Tier 3-5 (putting them at 4th)
Must apply other credits to get to 5th
Tier 5-7 (putting them at 6th)
A 2nd level PC applies the sheets:
Tier 1-3 (putting them at 3rd level. *4th chronicle is a bonus, so would be applied in order, meaning you apply Chronicle One first)
Tier 3-5 (putting them at 4th level)
Bonus Chronicle 2,4,6 (putting them at 5th level)
Tier 5-7 (putting them at 6th)
A 3rd level PC applies the sheets:
Tier 1-3 (putting them at 4th level)
Tier 3-5 (putting them at 5th level. *4th chronicle is a bonus, so would be applied in order, meaning you apply Chronicle Two first)
Tier 5-7 (putting them at 6th level)
Bonus Chronicle 2,4,6 (putting the at 7th level)

It is defined as an extra chronicle you get for applying all 4 chronicles to the same PC, nowhere does it state when it needs to be applied, except in John's post.
Players who play through the entire module (not just the sanctioned portions) using the alternate play option detailed above and apply all three Chronicle sheets to the same Pathfinder Society character earn a fourth Chronicle sheet that must also be applied to that character.

On the topic of these chronicles, what is meant on the forth chronicle by "You become specialized in <skill>"
Does that mean skill focus? or it is a class skill?
Specialized is a term used in several other products, and it sometimes slips into other text without being redefined. When a PC is specialized in a skill, he gains it as a class skill. If he already has it as a class skill, he instead gains a +1 bonus on those skill checks.

If my group is playing in campaign mode, does that mean they get access to all the boons, regardless of performance in-game?
That's how I would handle it. Of course, in my experiences as GM and player in Dragon's Demand, the boons would have been earned anyhow.
Note that the fourth chronicle sheet, and its associated boon, is only available if all three other chronicles are applied, along with the 4th one, to the same PFS PC.
