 ### For Users:

 - ✅ Write human-readable model names
 - ✅ No need to understand Odoo's `x_` requirement
 - ✅ No manual name conversion needed
 - ✅ Existing YAML files work without modification
 
 ### For System:
+
 - ✅ Complies with Odoo core requirements
 - ✅ Models deploy successfully
 - ✅ No constraint violations

 ### Why Odoo Requires `x_` Prefix
 
 Odoo uses naming conventions to distinguish:
+
 - **Code-based models**: Defined in Python modules (e.g., `res.partner`, `account.move`)
 - **Manual models**: Created via UI or API (`ir.model`) - **MUST** start with `x_`
 
 This prevents:
+
 - Name conflicts with core Odoo models
 - Accidental override of system models
 - Confusion between module models and custom models
 
 ### Field Naming
 
 Fields also follow similar rules:
+
 - Manual fields must start with `x_`
 - Already implemented in the module
 - All dynamic fields use `x_` prefix
 
 **Example**:
+
 ```python
 {
     "name": "x_summary",  # ✅ Correct
