Enhancements to existing features
The search panel is easier to use: expand and collapse controls now sit consistently to the left, and users can click the full category header instead of a small arrow. This makes filtering and browsing hierarchical options clearer and more predictable.

This update simplifies the recruitment setup by adding LinkedIn as a default source only for new job positions and cleaning up related sources when jobs are deleted. It also removes the Google Map from recruitment email templates because most companies do not have the required API key, reducing unnecessary setup friction.
Original PR description
Multiple small changes/fixes to the hr_recruitment module to provide a better base for later improvements. The linkedin recruitment source is only added by default to new records, existing records remain unchanged. For the google map in the email template, since it requires an API_Key and only a minority of companies will get this key, it was decided that it is better to remove it from the template. [IMP] hr_recruitment: remove duplicate LinkedIn sources. Now that linkedin is added to job positions by default, deleting a job position currently does not delete the related linkedin source. So after removing 10 job positions, there are still 10 linked in source in the database. This commit fixes that. Task ID: 2196767.

OdooBot’s onboarding flow is now less disruptive and easier to follow, with clearer prompts, better help responses, and tutorial attachments moved to a more useful point. It also avoids creating repeated reminder conversations for administrators, keeping inboxes cleaner.

PURPOSE
This merge attempts to improve the workflow of the OdooBot onboarding
tutorial, as well as the answer given by the bot while idle.
SPECIFICATIONS
These changes come from watching how users interact with OdooBot. To
improve the user's experience, the following changes have been made:
1. Move the attachment to the end of the tour, as it is where most
people just close the bot.
2. Remove the quotation marks around commands that OdooBot tells the
user to type, like "/" or ":)", as some users try to actually type
the quotation marks too. Instead, use a light grey background around
the command that the user should type.
3. Some users ask OdooBot questions, but the responses they get are
useless. To solve this, use a message linking to the documentation or the
videos when:
- The user gives wrong answers twice for the same stage of the tour
- The user talks again when the tour is completed
- There's a question mark in the answer
Other issues have been attended to:
1. The first message from OdooBot when starting the onboarding tour will now only appear as a notification instead of opening a new chat window. The user can open the chat window from the notification when they actually want to start the tour, as it can be otherwise distracting for the user to have the chat window pop up all of a sudden.
2. A bug has been corrected where OdooBot would open a new channel every time the admin user logged in, to remind them about changing the default password. Now, it will use an existing channel if it exists.

The Social app now includes an in-app tour to guide users through its workflow, along with updated screens and clearer app information. Creating posts is also faster because accounts are automatically selected when there are three or fewer available, reducing manual setup for simple campaigns.
Original PR description
