Website builder options can now better coordinate updates that take longer to complete, reducing the risk of inconsistent settings while editing pages. This supports smoother configuration for website appointment and studio form options without changing the user-facing workflow.
Original PR description
Whenever there is a need to update the state of a builder option asynchronously, we need all the options to await for the state of all other options to be updated. This commit makes allow any options that need to update the state of the builder options asynchronously to do so by using the useDomState hook. Forward-Port-Of: odoo/enterprise#86450
This update improves the automated checks around tax reports, helping ensure financial reporting continues to work as expected. It supports more reliable accounting workflows by catching issues earlier before they affect users.
The Knowledge app’s internal performance tests were updated to reflect that property values are now tracked when a parent item changes. This keeps automated checks aligned with the current behavior and helps maintain reliability without changing day-to-day user workflows.
Original PR description
Purpose ======= Now, the properties values are tracked when the parent change. Adapt the queries count tests. Task-3644407
The IoT device search no longer includes an unnecessary grouping by IoT Box, making the view simpler to use. Device lists inside an IoT Box now show connection status and prioritize connected devices, helping users find relevant devices faster.
Original PR description
We previously added an unnecessary `group by` IoT Box in the IoT device search view. It is now removed.
We also sorted devices by connection desc and name in the iot device list view in the iot box form view,
and displayed the connected/disconnected status.

Forward-Port-Of: odoo/enterprise#89601Demo and test payroll employee accounts across multiple country-specific payroll modules are now created without preset passwords. This avoids unnecessary password processing during setup while keeping access possible if someone manually sets a password later.
Original PR description
These users are created in order to create demo / test employees. They're not used for tours or other log-in requirements. As such they don't need a password, and all that does is burn CPU (as the password needs to be hashed on user creation). The cost is not huge in the grand scheme of things, but it's unnecessary. If someone wants to log out as a payroll demo employee for reasons, they can set a password by hand. Same for tests.
