[IMP] pos_blackbox_be: remove look for update in opening control popup

Enterprisesaas-18.3pos_blackbox_be

The point-of-sale opening flow no longer checks whether blackbox drivers are up to date. This streamlines session start, while outdated drivers will still trigger an error when a blackbox feature is actually used, so users are protected without an extra startup step.

Original PR description

When introducing the blackbox queue service, we added a check at the opening of the POS to ensure that the blackbox drivers were up to date. This check is done at the start of session opening. It is now not necessary anymore, if the drivers are not up to date, an error will also be shown to the user when they try to use a blackbox functionality.

[IMP] add :text pseudo-class

PR #235107

Coresaas-18.3webbusmailevent_saleim_livechatpoint_of_salepos_restaurantpos_self_orderprojectproject_todosaletest_base_automationtest_website

This update adds a simpler way to select elements by their exact text in Hoot test selectors. It replaces a more complex matching pattern with a clearer option, making tests easier to read and maintain without changing business behavior.

Original PR description

This commit adds the ':text()' pseudo-class to the list of supported
pseudo-classes in Hoot selectors.

Its purpose is the same as ':contains()', with the specificity of being
an *exact* match instead of a *partial* one.

It effectively replaces ':contains(/^<expression>$/)' by
':text(<expression>)', improving the readability and making the
developer experience a bit nicer.

[IMP] add :text pseudo-class

PR #99183

Enterprisesaas-18.3web_ganttweb

This update switches some internal test checks to a more precise text-matching method. It helps keep automated tests stable and reduces the chance of false matches when checking on-screen text.

Original PR description

This commit replaces all found occurrences where ':contains' (with an
exact match regular expression) could be replaced by ':text'.
