Description

% tests/generate.zsh '{ a=42 }' main block-assignment-no-command
Set copyright year to 2022? y
BUFFER=$'{ a=42 }'

expected_region_highlight=(
  '1 1 reserved-word' # {
  '3 6 assign' # a=42
  '5 6 default' # 42
  '8 8 unknown-token' # }
)

That's a valid command so the final } should be a reserved-word.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the test file and the corresponding highlighting rule for reserved words. Ensure that the closing brace in a block assignment is recognized as a reserved word.
