[IMP] account_reports: create composite report from list view

Enterprisemasteraccount_reportsMEDIUM

Users can now select multiple reports directly from the reports list and create a composite report from them. This streamlines report setup by avoiding the previous manual process of creating a new report first and then adding each included report separately.

Original PR description

The current flow to create a composite report is to create a new report, toggle the "Composite Report" boolean field, and then set the different reports in the list below. This task aims at slightly improve the flow by also enabling the user to directly create composite reports from the list view of reports. Users can select desired reports to include in the composite group and initiate an action that generates a new composite report. By default, the newly generated report will include the selected reports as part of the composite group.

[IMP] *: use .translate to translate props whenever possible

PR #67821

Enterprisemasterdocumentsknowledgel10n_pe_edi_posmarketing_automationmrp_workorderspreadsheet_dashboard_documentsspreadsheet_edition

This update simplifies how translatable text is defined across several Odoo Enterprise screens and dialogs. It helps reduce duplicated code and makes future translation maintenance easier without changing the user experience.

Original PR description

To make it translatable, the content of some props was sometimes placed in the JavaScript code of the component to be wrapped in a call to gettext.

With the introduction of the .translate modifier for props, this indirection by the JS code is no longer necessary.

This commit converts the code to use .translate as much as possible. It is believed that avoiding indirection is better for code readability, and less prone to result in dead code.

[IMP] whatsapp: make field required

PR #67604

Enterprisemasterwhatsapp

WhatsApp templates must now include a category before they can be saved or used. This aligns Odoo with WhatsApp API requirements and helps prevent template submission issues caused by missing category information.

Original PR description

Since whatsapp category is required by whatsapp API, we should modify
the field definition and make it required.
