The underlying environment object can now be used more like a standard lookup list for models. This makes development work simpler and more consistent, with low direct impact on day-to-day business users.

Add methods `__contains__`, `__iter__` and `__len__` on environments.

Demo records for partners and products were updated and expanded to use American English examples. This makes sample data feel more familiar and realistic for US-oriented users evaluating or demonstrating Odoo.

Hello,

This update changes how people follow records and receive updates, making channels a lighter way to monitor activity while keeping direct follow-ups focused on items needing action. It also updates related views and filters across HR, CRM, calendar, events, and mail so users see action-needed messages instead of general unread status.
