They are part of the standalone. But it is just the opposite: substacks are not considered to be the executable, and can be modified and saved. This is the standard procedure, the splash screen as mainStack, and the substack(s) as working stacks.
The terminology's tricky. By convention, a "substack" is part of the same stackfile as the main stack, it's sort of bolted on. When built into a standalone, it can't be modified because it's the same file on disk as the main stack. Substacks are appendages.
There's no official term for those working stacks that aren't attached to the main stack. I call them "satellite" stacks, but that's just me. But they're separate files on disk, still in stack form, and the standalone opens them like they're documents (which they are) and they can be modified and saved.
We need an official term for those separate stacks that ship with standalones.
