Student lifecycle and status changes

Documentation status: source-reviewed draft. Exact UI paths, role permissions and screenshots still require isolated Odoo verification.

The student model defines a separate lifecycle from the admission applicant workflow.

Admitted	Admission registered; default for new student record
Enrolled	Student has been enrolled
Active	Actively studying
On Leave	Temporary leave
Graduated	Graduation recorded
Alumni	Alumni status
Withdrawn	Withdrawal
Expelled	Expulsion
Deceased	Deceased record state, with restricted UI action
Cancelled	Cancelled

Actions exposed in the student form

These conditions are extracted from XML button visibility. Server-side methods may contain further validations and the exact set of buttons is subject to inheritance, access rules and custom views.

warning

Status transitions mutate student records. Sensitive actions such as expulsion, death or cancellation must never be executed against real students for documentation testing.
