This update keeps several Odoo Enterprise areas working reliably with Python 3.13 and Debian Trixie. It adjusts tests and message checks so routine upgrades of underlying software do not create false failures, helping maintain platform stability.

This update prevents an error when users manually enter a tracking reference for a Sendcloud delivery. Instead of showing a technical crash, Odoo now handles the missing Sendcloud parcel data gracefully and can display a proper user-facing error.

**Steps to reproduce:**

1. Install delivery_sendcloud.
2. Create a new shipping method (Inventory -> Configuration)
   - Provider: sendcloud
   - Put the public and secret key
   - Assign Delivery Product
3. Create a sales order with a deliverable product
4. Confirm the sale order
5. Go to the delivery
6. Manually enter a random tracking reference.
7. Make sure carrier is set to the Sendcloud delivery method
8. Click on "tracking," or get back to the sales order (click "preview").
9. A traceback occurs.

**Issue:**

`A TypeError: 'bool' object is not subscriptable`

when accessing sendcloud_parcel_ref, which is expected to be a list or JSON but is instead a boolean.

**Causes:**

The code assumes the presence of valid Sendcloud parcel reference data, but manually entering a tracking reference bypasses the [_send_shipment](https://github.com/odoo/enterprise/blob/6ecf0af6b6874460d300ede6cc7c092927607810/delivery_sendcloud/models/sendcloud_service.py#L102) method that populates this field. As a result, sendcloud_parcel_ref can remain False.

https://github.com/odoo/enterprise/blob/df924ef8adffb3e42419a44ecf22fec3059917c4/delivery_sendcloud/models/delivery_carrier.py#L196

**Solution:**
Return None if there is no Sendcloud parcel reference, which will
raise a UserError from the below line

This update corrects missing module dependencies so related live chat and WhatsApp stock features install and reinstall reliably. It helps prevent nightly validation failures and reduces the risk of deployment issues caused by modules loading in the wrong order.

- `ai_website_livechat` hooks on an element added by `ai_website` but does not depend on that module, breaking uninstall/reinstall nightly (https://runbot.odoo.com/runbot/build/86142380)
- `whatsapp_stock` hooks on an element added by `stock_enterprise, but does not depend on that module, breaking uninstall/reinstall nightly (https://runbot.odoo.com/runbot/build/86142941)

Installing Payroll on a new Australian database no longer crashes when pay schedule information is missing. The system now safely uses a monthly default so payroll setup can complete reliably.

When installing the payroll app with a new db initialized in Australia, we would
 get a traceback because the schedule pay is False at some point.

This was due to the compute of schedule pay which did not handle the case where the structure type is not set.

This fixes the issue by checking if the structure type is set to set the schedule pay and adding a default value to monthly.

Updated automated tests so they create and manage records only with the permissions they are supposed to have. This improves confidence that business workflows in payroll, accounting, field service, and payments respect access controls and remain reliable.

Tests need to configure their ACLs properly.

The Preparation Display no longer shows a blank screen when using demo data. The fix handles missing customer notes safely so restaurant staff can open and review preparation orders without interruption.

Steps:
- Initialize a database with demo data
- Open the demo Preparation Display
- Blank screen appears due to an error

cause:
- Preparation lines have false as the customer note value in the demo data.

Fix:
- Added a fallback to an empty string when the customer note is defined.

Live chat AI setup now uses a simpler prompt format that works beyond a single AI provider. This helps keep AI live chat compatible with future provider options and avoids format-related issues.

Previously, preprompts were added as objects of the form {'rule': ..., 'content': ...}. However, this format is specific to OpenAI API. The task 4915266, [PR](https://github.com/odoo/enterprise/pull/90124) has changed the format from an object to a string to be extensible and to support providers other than OpenAI.

Thus, this commit adapts the preprompt of livechat channels to the new format.

Corrected a small formatting issue in the Sign app's date filter so it displays with the proper spacing. This makes the filter text clearer for users working with signature requests.
