+## 2026-09-28: Associated creation without standalone routes
+
+**Compiler and Skills — coordinated 0.8.0 source candidate, unreleased.** An associated form can use a create
+definition without exposing standalone New/Create routes. For example, keep Rating's create inputs, authorization,
+and Movie collection form while omitting `new` and `create` from Rating's `resource_routes`. The nested route still
+supplies its Movie; a retained standalone `create.return_to` does not choose the nested form's destination.
+
+Standalone Create without New or a return destination now returns 201 on success even when its definition also
+serves associated forms; that shared case previously redirected with 303. Invalid submissions return 422. Review
+the [Scaffolds guidance](skills/create-full-stack-app/references/foundation-plan-023.md#scaffolds) for required-parent
+gaps and shared-Policy form-entry limits before handing unfinished application behavior to the implementation agent.
