[IMP] web_studio: only use one mock server during tests

Enterprisemasterweb_studio

Studio tests now share one simulated server across multiple test environments, better matching how several browser tabs use the same real server. This improves test reliability for multi-tab scenarios without changing the user-facing product.

Original PR description

The pyEnv used during tests is based on the mock server to provide
server like api. This issue is that when creating multiple environments
during tests, a new mock server is created each time. This is not realistic
since in a real world scenario, multiple tabs would share a single server.
In order to make pyEnv work with multiple tabs tests (e.g. multiple env tests),
let's create a single mock server shared between js environment during a test.

[IMP] website_enterprise: adapt the frontend mini navbar

PR #30218

Enterprisemasterwebsite_enterprise

The website frontend navigation now keeps the Enterprise behavior for sending users to the app switcher instead of showing a direct app list. This keeps the experience consistent with the Enterprise interface and avoids an unnecessary duplicate menu.

Original PR description

Community counterpart commit is introducing back the fact that the
"go to backend" icon in the frontend should display the app list
directly.
But this is not needed in enterprise as that "go to backend" button is
landing on the nice enterprise app switcher.

[IMP] mail_enterprise: introduce Mailbox model for mail.box threads

PR #30402

Enterprisemastermail_enterprise

This update reorganizes how mailbox-related conversations are handled in Odoo Enterprise Mail. It separates mailbox-specific behavior from the general conversation logic, making the code easier to maintain and reducing the risk of future issues.

Original PR description

This commit will simplify the code of Thread by properly splitting all behaviors exclusive to mail.box threads.

[IMP] knowledge: rename isDisabled to hasReadAccess

PR #30054

Enterprisemasterknowledge

The Knowledge app now uses clearer access wording for chatter, distinguishing read access from write access. This helps align the interface with updated permission handling and reduces confusion around what users can view versus edit.

Original PR description

Chatter access have been split in hasWriteAccess and hasReadAccess.

[IMP] appointment: auto generate odoo meeting

PR #27136

EnterprisemasterappointmentMEDIUM

Online appointments without a physical location now automatically generate and include an Odoo meeting link in customer invitations. Booking pages and emails also use clearer joining instructions, reducing manual follow-up for sales teams and making it easier for attendees to join meetings.

Currently, when a calendar event is generated from an appointment that has no
`location_id` set (which means it is handled online), the calendar event does
not have `videocall_location` set by default, so the salespersons have to
manually send a follow-up to customers on every booked meetings (to share the
URL where online meeting will take place).

This commit improves the behavior for such case, and auto-generates the meeting
URL(videocall_location) for appointments that do not have location set, so that
the URL will be included in the invitation mail being set to the attendees.

Apart from that, this commit also done below changes:

- At the time of booking an appointment, if the appointment has a
  `videocall_location`, it will display the label "How to join"
  with the online meeting URL.

- Change the "Meeting URL" label to "How to Join".

- Change the "https://meet.jit.si/odoo-xyz" label to
  "www.mycompany.com/calendar/join_videocall/xyz".

- Adds the label "Join with Odoo Discuss" if the `base_url` is found in
  `videocall_lcation`, otherwise "Join At" instead of simply showing the
  meeting URL in calendar event related mail templates and moves the
  meeting URL to the bottom of this label.

- To avoid a tiny calendar badge, add style `min-width: 130px`; to the
  calendar badge.

- To make the code more robust and, more importantly, testable,
  replace `request.session ['timezone']` with `request.session.get('timezone')`.
