[TGDK][Fix] Ensure articles transition to 'Accepted' stage when review is the final workflow step

Important

This implementation is part of a set of features and fixes developed within the context of a project for the TGDK academic journal, with the goal of customizing Janeway to meet the journal's specific needs, which may also be extended to other contexts.

Problem / Objective

When the draft_decisions option is enabled and the editorial workflow is limited to the review stage, accepting a draft decision that approves an article should transition its stage to Accepted. However, it incorrectly transitions to Editor Copyediting.

This issue becomes particularly problematic when the workflow is restricted to the review stage, as articles appear in the Copyediting stage instead of being marked as Accepted. This discrepancy leads to logistical issues within the platform.

Solution

The problem was identified in the manage_draft function, where the stage is directly set to STAGE_EDITOR_COPYEDITING:

article.accept_article(stage=submission_models.STAGE_EDITOR_COPYEDITING)

The fix ensures that the initial stage after approval is set to STAGE_ACCEPTED. If subsequent workflow stages exist (e.g., Copyediting), the article will transition to those automatically, but the primary stage must always begin as Accepted.

Thanks @SSanchez7 this looks great.
