Manually arranged forms can now start with $this->Form->bind($article), followed by the existing open(), control(), submit(), and close() calls. form() remains the fluent builder for both manual bindings and complete forms. Configured manual forms continue to use form(...)->method(...)->url(...)->bind(); reusable configs remain optional.

Expose the existing binding implementation directly rather than adding another wrapper. Direct binding, builders, and standalone actions share context selection, factory injection, session extensions, and security bookkeeping. Update the homepage, introductory examples, and reference to distinguish the two entry points and show optional immutable FormConfig settings.

Validation:

• composer validate --strict and composer check: 806 tests, 3,174 assertions; analysis, lint, Rector, and formatting pass.
• composer test-coverage with Xdebug: 100% line coverage (2,511/2,511).
• npm ci, npm run docs:build, and npm run test:browser: all 53 browser tests pass using the direct binding entry point in the main form fixture. Documentation API calls, imports, links, anchors, and populated homepage code tabs also checked.
