Enhancements to existing features
Guest users' chat availability status is now shown in the messaging interface instead of only being stored in the background. This makes conversations clearer by helping users see whether a guest participant is online or available.
Original PR description
Before this PR, the `im_status` for guest was stored, but not displayed. task-2883466
Watch mode for automated tours now gets a much longer default timeout, reducing interruptions while teams investigate slow or failing tests. The watch mode status is also shared with the browser client, enabling future improvements to debugging behavior.
Original PR description
Currently, when enabling watch mode on a tour the tour's timeout does not change. This is usually an issue because: - watch mode makes tours a bit slower, so they can timeout even without doing anything - trying to diagnose what's wrong, it's common to add check steps with a long timeout or even a `debugger` statement, which trips the python-side timeout and kills the tour To avoid needing to remember to update the timeouts (then revert them afterwards), just bump the timeout to 1h by default, or 10x the original time for very long tours (e.g. qweb test suite, which currently has a 30mn timeout). While at it, forward the watch mode status to the client via the QS, so we can eventually make use of it for one reason or an other.

Original PR description
Task-2937959
This update removes redundant or overly technical help text from many Odoo screens and improves the remaining guidance. It reduces translation workload, avoids sending unnecessary text to the interface, and makes future tooltips more focused and useful for users.
Original PR description
[IMP] cleanup of help messages in all modules
This commit aims at removing unuseful help message to:
1/ reduce translators work, to focus on more useful translations
2/ not sending unuseful information in load_views
3/ reduce help message to useful messages, so that we can mark
fields having a tooltip in the future UI.
4/ some cleanup of existing messages too
The main use cases:
- REMOVED: help redundant with the field name, providing no extra info
- MOVED TO COMMENT: technical help messages, that should not be in UX
- IMPROVED help messages
