A copy-on-write view freezes the structure of the module view it was copied
from. When that module view changes mode between two versions, the copy keeps
an arch written for the old mode and the upgrade dies on
« Element ... cannot be located in parent view », hours into the migration.
Measured on a real 12.0 database: portal.frontend_layout is declared primary in
12.0 (full QWeb template, so a full-template arch is legitimate) and becomes an
extension in 13.0 (inherit_id + xpath). The 2021 COW copy follows the module,
turns into an extension, and keeps its 12.0 arch. The customization is genuine;
the breakage is produced by the migration.
check_cow_views.py compares the mode stored in database with the mode declared
in the target version sources and sorts the views in three buckets: at risk
(mode change), module absent from the target version, and pages made from the
editor (not at risk). Read-only, and called from step 2 so the list is known
before the long version loop rather than during it.
On the reference database it reports exactly the view that broke the upgrade,
plus 7 views whose module is gone in 13.0 (custom theme included).

Which modules must be uninstalled before a version bump depends on the data of
one specific database, so that list does not belong to a shared versioned file.
- Read private/odoo/migration/<database>/uninstall_module_list_odooXX0_to_odooYY0.txt
first, then the shared versioned defaults under script/odoo/migration/, and
merge them (duplicates dropped). private/ mirrors script/, the convention
already used by script/todo/todo.json -> private/todo/todo_override.json.
- Fix the parser. It was « f.readline().split() »: only the FIRST line was kept,
so a multi-line list was silently truncated, and a comma-separated list turned
into one bogus module name. On a file starting with a comment it returned the
words of that comment as module names. It now reads every line and accepts
commas, several names per line, blank lines and comments.
- Support a « # reason » justification per module, printed before uninstalling;
a module with no reason is flagged. Removing a module must stay reviewable.
- Ignore private/odoo/ in git: these lists describe one database.

The database migration recorded steps as done even when they had failed, so a
resume skipped them and the loop kept going on a broken database.
execute.py
- exec_command_live() left exit_code = None when an exception was raised. None
is falsy, so « if not status: » marked the step done and
« if status and wait_at_error » skipped the error prompt: a crashed command
was reported as a success. Both except blocks now set exit_code = 1.
- The « no Odoo version installed » path returned a bare -1 while callers
unpack a tuple (status, cmd), raising ValueError instead of surfacing the
failure. It now returns the same shape the caller asked for.
todo_upgrade.py
- todo_upgrade_execute(): treat a None status as a failure (defence in depth).
- Database migration (OpenUpgrade): the return code was discarded, with an
explicit « TODO detect error », and the state was written unconditionally.
It is now captured; on failure the loop stops instead of migrating the next
version on top of a half-migrated database.
- Neutralization: the flag was set before the « if not status » test, making
that test dead code. Removed the unconditional assignment.
- Clone and fix-migration hook: their return codes were never captured, so the
steps were marked done whatever happened. Both are now checked.
