Employee version dates now appear in familiar local formats, such as "Jan 1, 2000" in the US and "1 janv. 2000" in French. This makes HR information easier to read and more consistent for users in different regions.

Version dates should be in the format "Jan 1, 2000" for the US, "1 janv. 2000" for FR, etc.

This update adds automated tests for several Point of Sale data models, including orders, order lines, categories, and presets. These tests help catch regressions earlier and improve confidence in future POS changes without altering day-to-day user workflows.

Add hoot tests for POS models including `pos_order`, `pos_order_line`, `pos_category`, and `pos_preset`.

Users are now notified when an IoT-connected device is disconnected instead of actions simply failing silently. This makes device issues clearer and helps users understand why an operation could not be completed.

If a device is disconnected, we had no way of telling the user, we only didn't perform the action.

Now we notify the user that the device is disconnected.

Point of Sale users in Belgium now see a clearer disconnection message when the fiscal blackbox cannot be reached through the IoT Box. The dialog includes a retry option, helping staff continue order validation or clock in/out once the connection is restored.

We improved the dialog telling the user its blackbox is disconnected from the IoT Box.

We added a retry button to allow retrying validation of an order and clocking in/out.

Kiosk and self-order screens now automatically refresh when product availability changes, so customers see current stock status without a manual reload. This prevents unavailable items from being selected or paid for, reducing failed orders and improving the customer experience.

Before this commit:
---------------------------
- Product availability changes were not reflected in the kiosk or self-order 
 screens.
- Users could select and proceed to payment for products that were already 
 out of stock.
- No automatic UI update; a manual page reload was required to reflect stock 
 changes.

After this commit:
------------------------------------
- Product availability changes now automatically refresh the kiosk and 
  self-order interfaces.
- Unavailable products are blocked from being selected or paid for.
- The UI reflects real-time stock status, ensuring a consistent and reliable  
  experience.

The point-of-sale settlement flow no longer loads all accounting move records upfront when they are not immediately needed. This reduces memory use and speeds up loading, especially for businesses with large accounting histories.

Before this commit, all account.move records were loaded into the PoS interface, even though they were not used immediately. This caused significant performance issues, increasing memory usage and loading times.

Point of Sale now shows whether the connected IoT Box is available locally, online, or offline. This helps store staff quickly understand device connectivity and react faster when printers, payment terminals, or other IoT-connected hardware may be unavailable.

When a user has missed or ignored VoIP calls, the softphone now automatically opens the recent calls tab. This helps users quickly see who called and follow up without first navigating away from the dialer.

Purpose:
To open recent calls tab in softphone interface when there are missed calls.

Specification:
This commit updates the VoIP systray item behavior to ensure that, when a user has missed calls, the softphone interface will automatically switch to the "recent" calls tab.

Incase of an ignored incoming call, the softphone will now switch to the "recent" tab instead of the "dialer".

VoIP will no longer appear as the first app on the homepage. Its position has been adjusted to appear after WhatsApp, making the app ordering more intentional and less prominent for users who do not need VoIP first.

Change the sequence number of the VoIP root menu so that it doesn't show up as the first app on the homepage.

The sequence number is set to 261 in order to put VoIP right after WhatsApp, which is 260 at the time.

Knowledge conversations now open through a shared process instead of only in one specific action. This improves reliability across different user paths and helps ensure users reach the right discussion view wherever they start from.

Rather than patching the action specific method, patch thread open to work in all flows.

Discuss actions such as message, thread, and composer options are now presented through a shared component, making them more consistent across the interface. This reduces duplicated presentation logic and gives users a cleaner, more familiar experience in areas like the Discuss sidebar and header.

Before this commit, discuss actions such as thread actions and message actions were defined differently from their own registries. The style of the actions are defined by component that make use of these actions, so lots of code differ in style and use and have to use same pattern to present these actions nicely.

Main problems are:
- each component using these actions have to define complex code for presentation of the actions
- style inconsistency

This commit improves by introducing a DiscussActions component, which accepts formatted lists of actions from thread, message, composer registries. This gives the benefit of easing the showing of these actions in UI by just mounting the `DiscussActions` component and provide list of actions to display.

Consequently to this improvement, style of discuss sidebar actions and discuss header actions have been changed to more closely look like usual odoo dropdown items and odoo control panel switch buttons.

Mobile users now access message actions through the same dropdown pattern used in Discuss. This makes message handling more consistent and easier to use on smaller screens.

The spreadsheet global filter dialog now shows all available filters immediately, removing the need to click an extra "Add filter" button. This makes filter setup and editing faster and more straightforward for users working with documents spreadsheets.

This commit make it so the global filter dialog always displays all of the filters, instead of having to click on the "Add filter" button.

It also changes the `Edit Filter` button, so a tour had to be adapted.

Belgian payroll now excludes PFI contracts when calculating an employee’s seniority for departure notice periods. This helps ensure notice periods are computed according to Belgian rules and avoids overstating seniority for employees with PFI contract history.

When you generate the notice period for leaving employees, you must compute their seniority. In Belgium, PFI contracts should not be taken into account. This commit filters the contracts to ignore PFI ones.
