Background ---------- When a website view is customized, Odoo makes a copy-on-write (COW) copy tied to a website_id. That copy freezes the arch AND the structure of the module view it was copied from. A module view can change structure between two Odoo versions. Example measured on a real 12.0 database: ``portal.frontend_layout`` is declared ``primary`` in 12.0 (a full QWeb template) and becomes an ``extension`` in 13.0 (``inherit_id="web.frontend_layout"`` + xpath). During the upgrade the COW copy follows the module and becomes an extension, but keeps its 12.0 full-template arch. Odoo then applies the ```` root as an inheritance spec, cannot find it in the parent, and the whole upgrade stops on:: ValueError: Element '' cannot be located in parent view So the rule is: a COW view breaks when the shape its arch must have changes between version N and version N+1. The discriminant is NOT ``mode``. What decides the required shape is whether the target declares an ``inherit_id``: if it does, the arch must be inheritance specs (````, ````, ``position=``); if it does not, the arch must be a standalone template. Comparing ``mode`` alone misses a real case: a view moving from a root template to ``inherit_id`` + ``primary="True"`` keeps ``mode='primary'`` on both sides yet still has to change shape, and the copy still breaks. That is predictable *before* starting a multi-hour migration: the stored arch is in the database, and the required shape is declared in the target version sources. This script compares the two and reports the views at risk. It only reads: no database write, no source modification.
