         *
         * @remarks
-        * `name` is the `{{name}}` token as written in `content`. `path`, when
-        * present, resolves the fill value through a (possibly nested)
-        * {@link FieldPath} rather than a flat `name` lookup on the values record.
-        * `required` defaults to `true` when omitted — an unresolved required
-        * placeholder is governed by the active {@link MissingPolicy}. `fallback` is
-        * a literal substituted when the value is unresolved, regardless of
-        * `required`.
+        * `register` accepts either a constructed {@link TemplateInterface} (kept
+        * as-is, including its own `missing` / `locale` defaults) or a plain
+        * {@link TemplateOptions} bag — constructed into a `Template` with this
+        * manager's `missing` / `locale` defaults applied wherever the bag omits
+        * them. A duplicate `id` throws a {@link TemplateError} coded `CONFLICT`
+        * unless `options.replace` is `true`, in which case the existing entry is
+        * overwritten. `options.templates` SEEDS the registry at construction
+        * WITHOUT emitting `register` — only calls to `register` after construction
+        * emit. The batch `remove(ids)` form removes every present id and returns
+        * `true` only when every listed id was present.
+        *
+        * @example
+        * ```ts
+        * import { TemplateManager } from '@src/core'
+        *
+        * const manager = new TemplateManager()

+        * manager.fill(instance.id, { name: 'Ada' }) // 'Hi Ada'
