+// Assign compiles a CEL expression from source that evaluates to a map of context
+// field updates, and registers it under name in reg as a CEL-backed assign reducer
+// the kernel folds inside Fire. Reference it from a transition with the Assign verb
+// (or a state with OnEntryAssign / OnExitAssign) exactly like a Go reducer.
+//
+// Compilation and type-checking happen once, here, at authoring time — never inside
+// Fire. The expression is checked against the schema-derived environment, where the
+// context's fields are bound as top-level variables by their JSON name (the same
+// projection rich guards read). The result type must be a map keyed by string: each
+// entry names a context field and supplies its new value, and authoring fails loudly
+// otherwise. For example, over an order context:
+//
+//	expr.Assign(reg, "applyDiscount", `{"total": total * 0.9, "status": "discounted"}`, schema)
+//
+// At run time the reducer evaluates the expression against the prior context, then
+// merges the resulting field updates onto a copy of that context (a shallow,
+// top-level overlay) and returns the next context. The merge goes through the same
+// JSON projection as the read path, so it is symmetric and language-neutral.
+// Like every assign the reducer is total and pure: it emits no effect and cannot
+// fail the step. A rare runtime evaluation error (the expression is already
+// type-checked, so this is unusual) leaves the context unchanged.
+//
+// The expression reads only the context, mirroring the rich-guard environment;
+// reading the triggering event is a later, additive capability. With a Catalog
+// option the type-checked AST is collected for tooling and polyglot transport, the
+// same as for guards. The context type parameter C is the registry's context type.
