`@hidden` implementation of non-hidden overloads result in documentation that marks the function as hidden

hidden, overload

Actual Behavior

When the implementation of overloads is marked with @hidden while the overloads aren't, the generated documentation of the function is also marked marked with Hidden.

Reproduction

Save the following file to a.ts.

/**
 * @param a - Number param.
 */
export function f(a: number): void;

/**
 * @param a - String param.
 */
export function f(a: string): void;

/** @hidden */
export function f(a: string | number): void {
  console.log(a);
}

Run typedoc a.ts. Check out the output.

Expected Behavior

Function f above shouldn't be marked as Hidden in the generated doc.

Environment

• Typedoc version: 0.26.3
• TypeScript version: 5.5.3
• Node.js version: 22.4.1

That should have entirely removed the function from the documentation... weird.

How should we exclude the implementation prototype from the doc then? They are often only used for implementation and not for users to read.

nvm, the implementation is undocumented by default.
