[FIX] point_of_sale: fix crash when switching tab while printing receipt

PR #241929

Coresaas-18.4point_of_saleMEDIUM

This update fixes a crash that occurred when users switched tabs while a receipt was being printed in Point of Sale. The fix ensures the receipt component is reliably loaded and accessible, preventing the printing process from failing. This improves the overall reliability of the PoS system.

Original PR description

Why it happens:
---------------
The receipt is printed when the parent of the `OrderReceipt`, i.e. `RenderContainer` is rendered. In this case, we assume that `OrderReceipt` has already had the time to be mounted and thus it's in the DOM, so in this case, `this.ref?.el?.firstElementChild` has the order receipt. However, when switching the tab, and since OWL uses `requestAnimationFrame` as a scheduler, and since the browser will throttle `requestAnimationFrame` when the tab is not active, we will not have access to the order receipt component in its parent's `onRendered`!

The fix
-------
Instead of seeing the parent renders as a sign that its child has been successfully put in the DOM, we now renders the child component (OrderReceipt) in its own container and thus we can hook into its `onMounted` lifecycle where we know for sure that this component has been successfully mounted and attached to the DOM, and can be accessed through `this.ref?.el?.firstElementChild`.

[FIX] website_forum: fix forum post form validation

PR #241925

Coresaas-18.4website_forum

This update corrects a bug in the forum post form where invalid fields (like a missing title) were not properly highlighted, allowing users to submit incomplete posts. The fix ensures that required fields are correctly marked as invalid, improving the user experience and data integrity within the forum.

Original PR description

Steps to reproduce
===================
1. Go to Forum.
2. Select any forum and Click on New Post.
3. Add a title and keep description empty.
4. Post Your Question.
=> The title is marked as invalid.
6. Now add a description.
7. Post Your Question.
=> Both the title and description are marked as invalid, yet form is submitted successfully.

After commit [1], refactoring public widgets to Interactions, the `is-invalid` class toggle for forum post title and description used an incorrect condition, leading to improper highlighting of these fields.

[FIX] l10n_co_edi: add missing qr and payment details

PR #103198

Enterprisesaas-18.4l10n_co_edi

This update corrects a technical issue where QR and payment details were missing from invoices. The team has extended the existing view to include these crucial elements, ensuring accurate reporting and compliance. This resolves issues OPW-5385872 and OPW-5414922.

Original PR description

During the commit 6479d17, a new view was added but unfortunately, the details of the previous one was not considered.

To fix this issue, we should extend the values of the main one.

[FIX] point_of_sale: prevent leftpane from shrinking below its width

PR #241952

Coresaas-18.4point_of_sale

This update fixes a visual issue in the Point of Sale interface where the left-hand product pane would sometimes shrink, making text unreadable. The fix ensures the pane maintains its intended width, improving the user experience. The issue was intermittent and related to how the layout elements interacted within the flex container.

Original PR description

In some scenarios, although not fully deterministic, the left pane is being pushed by its right pane sibling (i.e. the products grid), making it go below its specified with of `left-pane-width`, and making text non readable.

By setting `flex-shrink: 0` on this element, we tell the browser to respect the specified width, and not allow its siblings to shrink it.

We could have also set `min-width: $left-pane-width;`, but it's less descriptive. The problem happens because we are in a flex container, hencer we use `flex-shrink: 0`.

### Notes:
This issue only happened from time to time for the client, and it seems non deterministic. 
If we disable showing the product images, the issue stops happening.

Steps to reproduce: ------------------- 1. Enable "Automatic Receipt Printing" so the receipt is auto printed after paying an order 2. From PoS, make an order, select it to invoice, and click the pay button. 3. While loading (normally a few seconds to finish the invoice), switch the tab and stay there for few seconds (the time the invoicing has finsihed). 4. Come back to the initial page, a traceback will appear and the ticket is not printed. Why it happens: --------------- The receipt is printed when the parent of the `OrderReceipt`, i.e. `RenderContainer` is rendered. In this case, we assume that `OrderReceipt` has already had the time to be mounted and thus it's in the DOM, so in this case, `this.ref?.el?.firstElementChild` has the order receipt. However, when switching the tab, and since OWL uses `requestAnimationFrame` as a scheduler, and since the browser will throttle `requestAnimationFrame` when the tab is not active, we will not have access to the order receipt component in its parent's `onRendered`! The fix ------- Instead of seeing the parent renders as a sign that its child has been successfully put in the DOM, we now renders the child component (OrderReceipt) in its own container and thus we can hook into its `onMounted` lifecycle where we know for sure that this component has been successfully mounted and attached to the DOM, and can be accessed through `this.ref?.el?.firstElementChild`. opw-5124585 Forward-Port-Of: odoo/odoo#241781 Forward-Port-Of: odoo/odoo#239008
