[FIX] website: open anchor links in new tab if option is enabled

Core18.0website

This fix makes website anchor links behave as users expect when “Open in New Window” is enabled. Instead of staying in the same tab and scrolling on the page, the link now opens in a new tab while still jumping to the selected section.

Original PR description

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an anchor link for any dropped snippet.
2. Insert the link through the link popover.
3. Enable the "Open in New Window" option.
4. Click on Save.
5. Click on the link.

Issue:
Even though the "Open in New Window" option is enabled, the page scrolls in the same tab instead of opening in a new window and scrolling to the targeted view.

Reason:
When an anchor link has target="_blank", `ev.preventDefault()` was still being called, which prevented the browser from performing its default behavior of opening the link in a new tab.

Fix:
Removed `ev.preventDefault()` for such links, as the expected behavior is to open them in a new tab whenever target="_blank" is set. Additionally, the offcanvas mobile-specific logic has been removed, as it is no longer necessary now that `ev.preventDefault()` is no longer used.

[FIX] hr_skills_survey: certification line color not updated with time

PR #226434

Core18.0hr_skills_survey

Certification lines now refresh their status color correctly when a certificate passes its end date. This ensures the Certifications report reflects the current situation without requiring any manual change.

Original PR description

**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Install `hr_skills_survey`
2. Go to Employees > Reporting > Certifications.
3. Create a certification line with a future end date → record shows in black.
4. Change the system date to after the end date.

**Issue:**
- The line color is not updated when time passes.

**Cause:**
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/76a8d6bc28eb5998bd976b3c41bf9772d325c8bf/addons/hr_skills_survey/models/hr_resume_line.py#L17
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/76a8d6bc28eb5998bd976b3c41bf9772d325c8bf/addons/hr_skills_survey/views/hr_employee_certification_views.xml#L7
- The color was based on the stored computed field `expiration_status`,
which only depends on `date_end`. Since `date_end` does not change with time,
the field value is not recomputed daily.

**Solution:**
- Introduce a non-stored computed field `expiration_status_ui`, depending on
`date_end` and use it in the view to update expiration_status.

[FIX] documents: restrict unfold of folders

PR #93718

Enterprise18.0documents

This fix prevents parent folders from automatically expanding when a user opens a folder inside them. It makes folder navigation in Documents more predictable and keeps the folder tree easier to scan.

Original PR description

Steps to reproduce
===================
- Go to the `All` section.
- Open the folder hosted in the `My Drive`.
- `My Drive` gets unfolded.

To Be
=====
- The` My Drive` folder should not be unfolded when opening folders inside it,
  like `Company`.

Technical
===========
- Earlier, we were sticking to the condition that allows other root folders to
  unfold when we open a folder inside it, except the `Company` folder.

After this commit
==================
- This commit addresses the issue, and now whenever we click on a certain folder
  it will not unfold until its root is unfolded.

[FIX] base: update state code from 'OR' to 'OD'

PR #236479

Core18.0basecontacts

The system now uses the current official state code for Odisha in India. This avoids incorrect location data when creating contacts and related documents like sales orders.

Original PR description

**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Install the `Contacts` module.
2. Go to Contacts > Create a new contact.
3. Select country India, and state Odisha.
4. Create a sales order using the newly created contact.

**Issue:**
As per [Government of India](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:IN), the state code was officially changed from "OR" to "OD" in 2023.
However, Odoo still uses the outdated code.

**Solution:**
Update the name of the state from "OR" to "OD" in state records.

[FIX] mail: mockUserAgent usage

PR #236837

Core18.0mail

This change fixes how Mail’s automated tests simulate browser environments. It ensures the test tool is used with the intended device/platform values, which helps keep test behavior accurate and reliable.

Original PR description

The `mockUserAgent()` is meant to be used with a "platform" ("mac",
"windows", "android"...) as parameter and not a whole user agent string.

In specific cases, a custom string can be used instead, but only to be
added to the user agent string.

This commit adapts its usage(s) accordingly.
