This update makes Odoo app model definitions available from each app's main entry point, so other apps can reference them without depending on internal folder layouts. It is an internal maintainability improvement that supports future typing work and should not change day-to-day user workflows.

Original PR description

[IMP] *: Import models at the addon root level

Odoo model classes whose name matches their model are exposed at the root
level of the addon. This is so that other addons do not have to take into
account the structure which is an implementation detail.
These classes can be easily used for typing. This use will be present
later.

[IMP] approvals: use activity.persona

PR #75404

Enterprisemasterapprovals

Approval activity items now use the shared persona display, making requester or assignee information more consistent with the rest of Odoo. This improves readability and provides a more uniform experience when reviewing approval tasks.

[IMP] quality_iot: move Quality Control Points tab after Printer Reports

PR #75476

Enterprisemasterquality_iot

The IoT quality configuration screen now places the more commonly used Printer Reports tab before Quality Control Points. This makes frequently accessed printer report settings easier for users to find and reduces navigation friction.

Original PR description

As it's "Printer Reports" tab is more widely used than "Quality Control Points" one, we moved it in first posistion.

[DRAFT][IMP] web_map: display 0 instead of None for integer field groupby

PR #75414

Enterprisemasterweb_map

Map views now show 0 instead of None when records are grouped by an integer field with no value. This makes grouped data clearer and avoids confusing empty labels for business users.

Original PR description

SPECIFICATION:

When grouping by an integer field, ensure that if the field's value is empty, display the 0 instead of None in the all views.

[IMP] whatsapp: remove chat bot after forward to operator

PR #75129

Enterprisemasterwhatsapp

After a WhatsApp chat is forwarded to a human operator, the chatbot is now removed from the conversation. This keeps the channel focused on the customer and operator, reducing confusion during live support handoffs.

Original PR description

Until now, the chat bot stayed as a member of the channel after the "forward_operator" step. It makes more sense to remove it from the channel.

[IMP] mail: disable email signature in customer email responses

PR #185849

Core18.0mail

Odoo will stop automatically adding its own signature when an external customer replies by email. This avoids duplicate or cluttered signatures because customers often already include one from their email app.

Original PR description

When an external user responds to an email sent via Odoo, Odoo may send a mail notification with the user's message and automatically add a signature on their behalf.

Since most external users may have already configured an email signature in their mail client, the added signature can be redundant. To avoid this, we will no longer add a signature on behalf of external users.
