doc: missing overlay info in rockcraft.yaml reference
Metadata
Current evaluation
Overlay is now documented under parts.<part-name>.overlay in the generated rockcraft.yaml reference; #680 was closed as outdated after PR #1041, with no further patch required.
Resolution: closed not a bug
Reason: Maintainer @asanvaq closed #680 on 2026-03-24 as outdated, explicitly linking the now-present parts.<part-name>.overlay reference. Commit fd28a343 (PR #1041) had made the reference generated, so no additional issue-specific change was requested.
Evaluated by: mr-cal-bot
No scores available.
Issue body
The `part properties` should allude to the `overlay` step, at least pointing to where it is documented.
