Language activation now loads the selected language directly instead of opening an extra wizard, reducing unnecessary steps for administrators. Button labels and form layout were clarified so managing available languages is easier to understand.
Original PR description
The activation of languages was changed at bd3a553ad9c81e458a6 This commit makes a few changes/fixes - When executing the toggle_active method do not open the wizard but load directly the language - Rename the name of the button in tree view, Download was confusing as implies the resources are downloaded while it is only loaded - Remove duplicated help - Add action button to load the language from the form view (as it the only way from the form view was using the "Unarchive" action) - Add label directly next to the field (was making a line return) - Set the placeholder on the field (no effect on the label) - Remove groups as the view is already restricted to system users Follow-up of task id 2026150
The Lunch app now better respects company boundaries by linking suppliers and products to the relevant company. This helps businesses using multiple companies keep lunch supplier and product records visible only where appropriate.

Inventory users can now print picking barcode reports as PDFs, in addition to the existing ZPL format. This makes the barcode report easier to view, share, and print on standard office printers without relying on label-printer formats.
Original PR description
**In Inventory for a picking, we have an option to print the report of Barcodes in ZPL but we do not have option to print the same in PDF**. After this PR is merged, there will be a PDF version of the report of Barcodes available just similar to the report in ZPL. A PDF template is added below the ZPL template.

This update makes employee availability indicators more consistent across HR apps by combining login, attendance, leave, email, and IP activity where available. It also fixes demo attendance data that could prevent checkout and improves leave-related employee views for HR users.

This PR allow gaining a badge at the end of a certification survey if succeeded. The badge can be configured on the survey if the certification mode is activated. The badge is linked directly to the survey and not the challenge, because it makes more sense to configure directly the reward on the survey and not the way to gain this reward. As the way is always the same. Only one badge can be set on the certification survey. Only the name, description, image and badge level can be configured. The rest of badge configuration is automatically set to correspond to the use case. When a badge is configured on a certification survey, the needed challange, goal and challenge line are autogenerated. The badge is available on the user's profile page if he gained it. Note : To avoid having to create a bridge module only to display the certification badge on the user's profile page, the default website_published value of the certification badge is defined directly in the survey module even if survey does not depend of website. This attribute will be ignored until website module is installed. Task ID : 1935136
Sales users can now add optional products to a quote without the web client fully reloading, so their searches, breadcrumbs, and current context are preserved. The quote also gives clearer visual feedback by highlighting added optional products and hiding the add button once they are included.
Original PR description
Purpose ======= Avoid a complete reload of the web client when adding a optional product, which loses searches, breadcrumb, etc. This is achieved by adding a non-stored 'is_present' computed field which is computed depending on the presence of a SO line linked to the option line - that way its is dynamically adapted when the option is added to the SO. Since we wanted a clear feedback when the option was added to the quote, green colouring and the disappearance of the 'add to quote' button have been added. Note that this field *cannot* be stored - since the line_id field on the option bypasses the ORM (`set null` for the on_delete attribute), it would not recompute properly upon deletion of the linked SO line. Task#1950410

Language activation is now more intuitive: activating a language also starts the translation loading flow, and users get shortcuts to add more languages from relevant forms. The language management screens are simplified, unnecessary options are removed, and the language field is hidden when there is only one active language.

1. base: Load translation when language is activated Purpose ------ Settings > Translations > Languages > I find the language I want and I click on stat button to activate it. Now I set it up on my user, it still doesn't work > the langage has not been loaded !!! Specification ------- When activating a language load the translation (and open the load translation wizard) 2. base: Add shortcut button to load language Pupose ------- On the res.partner and res.user form view if you want to change the language, it's not easy to know where I can activate more langages. Specification ----------- Add a small icon next to the language field to activate more languages (similar interface than to send an SMS). 3. base: Clean res.lang tree view 1. Set limit to 200 to display all current 82 languages in one page (current limit is 80/82). 2. Move some fields to debug mode. 3. Add a button to directly load a language. 4. base: Remove Load a Translation menu Activating a language automatically load the translation, hence the menu is no longer necessary. 5. base: Don't show language if only one active If only one language is active, don't show in the contact form view (`res.partner`) the language field. Changing the language is not possible since there is only one language. Hence the field is useless and therefore hidden. TaskID: 2026150
The dashboard app now adapts more smoothly on smaller devices, making it easier to view and use on phones and tablets. An unused title-editing field was also removed, simplifying the interface and reducing visual clutter.

Sales users can now add optional products without forcing the web client to reload. After adding an optional product, the screen automatically returns to the order lines so users can immediately see the result.
Original PR description
…roduct Purpose ======= This commit adds a custom widget to the button adding optional products. The widget triggers the same action as the button and then switches the tab to "Order Lines" so that the user can see the action worked.

Users can now move documents directly into workspaces or apply tags by dragging them onto the search panel. This makes organizing documents faster and more intuitive, reducing clicks and streamlining day-to-day document management.
Original PR description
This commit adds the ability to drag documents and drop them into the search panel's categories and filters (workspaces and tags). Task: #1998014
The stock forecast report now includes a grid-style view that makes planned incoming and outgoing stock moves easier to review and adjust. Users can quickly open related stock moves and update scheduled dates, helping teams manage inventory timing more efficiently.
Point of Sale can now work with newer IoT scale drivers, including serial-based Sylvac devices, instead of relying on older USB-specific handling. This improves compatibility with weighing hardware and adds automated checks to help ensure the displayed weight is accurate.
Original PR description
At this point Sylvac Calipers are supported via a specific USB driver. This replaces it with a new serial driver that inherits from the same base serial driver as the new iot scale drivers. It also adapts the pos so it can work with the new scale drivers. And it adds a tour to the pos to test the new scale drivers. Task: 1892412
Users can now print picking barcodes directly from the barcode view in both PDF and ZPL formats. This makes warehouse operations faster by reducing the steps needed to create labels for pickings.
Original PR description
**Barcode PDF and Barcode ZPL buttons in the view of Barcode** In the barcode module, there is no option for printing picking's barcodes. So we've added PDF and ZPL formats of reports with the other buttons in the barcode view. The buttons will make rpc calls to the methods of stock.picking model and then will perform the do_action on it.

The salary simulation page now avoids a rendering step that could fail when users had different browser windows open in debug and normal modes. This improves reliability while keeping the same user-facing behavior, with some internal cleanup to make the code easier to maintain.
Original PR description
This commit removes the flatten call from the simulation route which could break in some cases due to having a window in debug=assets and another in normal mode. The flatten call was needed because we were rendering the template before the rollback, but moving the rendering after the rollback enables us to simply remove the flatten call. Rendering after the rollback should not cause any trouble as we put all the needed information in memory (either in the orm cache, either in the values dictionnary), this means that we can access all the values inside the template. Some cleaning of the method is also applied in this commit in order to facilitate its comprehension
This update makes the recruitment and salary contract flow easier to use for HR teams. It improves applicant-related screens and supporting checks so recruiters can complete hiring steps more smoothly and with fewer usability friction points.
