Three issues from user testing on entech:
1. RPC error: column fp_step_template.triggers_workflow_state_id
does not exist
Root cause: the field was declared in fusion_plating CORE, but
its target model fp.job.workflow.state lives in fusion_plating_jobs.
Odoo loads core BEFORE jobs (jobs depends on core), so when core's
field declaration runs, the comodel doesn't exist yet — and Odoo
silently skips creating the column.
Fix: moved the field to fusion_plating_jobs/models/fp_job.py via
_inherit. Now the column is added when jobs loads (after core),
and the FK target is resolvable.
2. No chatter on the Workflow State form
Added _inherit = ['mail.thread', 'mail.activity.mixin'] to
fp.job.workflow.state. Tracking enabled on name/code/sequence so
admins see who changed the milestone vocabulary. <chatter/> widget
added to the form view.
3. Form layout still showed cramped 2-col help text
The XML file on disk had my new alert-info card, but Odoo's DB
ir_ui_view still held the old arch. The -u didn't refresh it
(likely because the file's mtime didn't change between deploys).
Fix: bump version + the next deploy will run a SQL DELETE on the
ir_ui_view record so Odoo recreates it from XML on -u.
