DocuSeal 2.5.2 fixes expired submissions

This is a quiet but credible release: the kind of maintenance update that signals a mature product, not a hype cycle.

• –The 2.5.2 change list is intentionally small, which usually means the team is prioritizing reliability over flashy surface-area growth.
• –Recent 2.5.x releases matter more strategically than this patch: MCP field prefilling, AI-assisted field detection, and the CLI make DocuSeal easier to wire into scripted and agent-driven workflows.
• –That pushes DocuSeal beyond “DocuSign alternative” into a more interesting niche for teams that want open-source, self-hosted document automation.
• –The project’s GitHub momentum suggests there is real demand for that positioning, especially among developers who want control over data, deployment, and integrations.
• –It is still not an AI product first; the AI angle is an enabler, not the core value proposition.
