      # This cop checks for unintended or-assignment to a constant.
      #
      # Constants should always be assigned in the same location. And its value
      # should always be the same. If constants are assigned in multiple
      # locations, the result may vary depending on the order of `require`.
      #
      # @safety
      #   This cop is unsafe because code that is already conditionally
      #   assigning a constant may have its behavior changed by
      #   auto-correction.
      #
      # @example
      #
      #   # bad
      #   CONST ||= 1
      #
      #   # good
      #   CONST = 1
      #
