Overview

Handles nested association writes within service actions.

All nested operations delegate to the associated service class, running within the caller’s open transaction so any failure triggers a full rollback of parent + nested writes.

Nested create flow (has_many / has_one):

1. Parent record is already persisted
2. For each declared association with nested params in the call's params:
   a. Inject parent FK into each item's attributes
   b. Delegate to associated service (create / update / destroy)
3. Return success with parent record, or first failure (caller rolls back)

Nested update semantics per item:

- has id + attributes    → :update via associated service
- has attributes only    → :create via associated service (FK injected)
- has id + _destroy: true → :destroy via associated service

Cascading destroy:

dependent: :destroy  → calls associated service destroy for each child
dependent: :restrict → returns failure if any children exist
dependent: :ignore   → does nothing (rely on DB constraints)
