      description: 'Anonymous create of a `node--signup` resource. This is the operation the OpenJustice site footer performs (its app bundle POSTs `/jsonapi/node/signup` with a `node--signup` payload whose `title` and `body.value` both carry the submitted text, `body.format` "plain_text"). Verified 2026-09-17: an anonymous POST with an EMPTY body returned HTTP 400 "Empty request body." rather than 401, i.e. anonymous access to this create route is granted (by contrast an empty anonymous POST to /node/dataset returns 401 "No authentication credentials provided."). No populated request was sent by API Evangelist — do not call this operation to test; it creates a record the DOJ staff will read. Anonymous GET on this collection returns an empty page with meta.omitted (submissions are not readable back).'
