Summary
When an applied overlay file changes, generation now reruns the same way it does for OpenAPI source edits. This closes the gap where overlay-driven changes required manual regeneration.
Watch scope expanded
CodeGenerator.watch()now watches all local generation inputs, not just the OpenAPI file:Overlay change regression coverage
Original Prompt

<issue_description>When an applied overlay file changes, the code should regenerate, just like when the OpenAPI document itself changes.</issue_description>
Manual acceptance tests
Tasks
CodeGenerator.watch()to watch overlay files in addition to the OpenAPI source when applicable.
