Users can now duplicate account report expressions without running into a duplicate-name restriction. This makes it easier to reuse and adapt existing report setup, reducing manual work when configuring financial reports.

this commit enables the copy of account report expressions. This is currently not possible because the name is copied with the same value and a constraint states that the name must be unique.

Testing now includes real-time websocket communication, which lets teams validate features such as Discuss notifications more accurately. This reduces the chance of message-delivery issues reaching users by making automated tests closer to real usage.

Until now, websockets were disabled during tests. However, applications such as discuss cannot properly be tested without receiving messages from the bus.

This PR enables the websockets during tests.

This update lets Odoo retrieve multiple internal reference records at once instead of one by one, reducing database queries in areas such as accounting configuration and demo data loading. It also standardizes how missing-reference handling is requested, improving consistency for future maintenance while keeping existing usage compatible.

The `ref` method both in Environment and in ChartTemplate can now accept multiple `xml_ids`, reducing the number of queries necessary. The `xml_ids` must all refer to the same model, or `ValueError` is raised.
`raise_if_not_found` argument is made a keyword-only argument so now it's mandatory for the function calls to include the argument name.

The web interface no longer sends duplicate company switch menu information through the user session. This simplifies how company access is handled and should reduce maintenance overhead without changing the user experience.

This commit removes the display_switch_company_menu from the session, and uses the company service. Note that, the company service already has the information about the allowed companies.

Demo company records across many country localization modules are now explicitly marked as companies. This keeps sample data consistent and helps users evaluating localized setups see company records behave as expected.

Italian tax records now use the standard Legal Notes field instead of a separate duplicate law reference field. This reduces duplicate data entry and keeps Italian e-invoice legal references consistent when generating FatturaPA XML files.

This commit removes the `l10n_it_law_reference` field from italian `account.tax`, and replaces all of its usage with the general tax field "Legal Notes" (`invoice_legal_notes`) HTML field.

By accident, we didn't take into account that both of these fields are saving the same data. Instead of having 2 redundant fields, we remove the italian field and uses the general Legal Notes when populating the RiferimentoNormativo node in the FatturaPA XML file.

Because it's a HTML field (saved as a Markup object), we need to extract its text content whenever we want to use it in the XML.

A request-related activity field has been moved out of the general mail area and into the eLearning/slides module where it is actually used. This keeps the core messaging tools leaner while preserving the same behavior for website slide activities.

This field is only used by webside_slides, so this commit moves it there.

This update improves how Odoo retrieves multiple internal references, reducing unnecessary database queries in accounting, payroll, helpdesk, delivery, field service, localization, and marketing areas. It also standardizes how missing references are handled, making the system more consistent and less prone to hidden errors.

The update removes a duplicated company-switching flag from the user session and relies on the existing company service instead. This reduces duplicated data and helps keep company access behavior consistent without changing the visible workflow for users.

This commit removes the display_switch_company_menu from the session, and uses the company service. Note that, the company service already has the information about the allowed companies.

Spreadsheet autocomplete suggestions now show the pivot or list name alongside its ID before selection. This makes it easier for users to identify the correct spreadsheet data source and reduces confusion when multiple pivots or lists exist.

Unless the auto complete suggestion is selected, it only shows the id of the pivot/list and not the name. This commit changes that to always show the name of the pivot/list is addition to its id.
