Expected Behaviour
If I have an @alias for a class, I expect it to be usable in inheritance for other classes, ex. @class MyNewClass : MyAlias
Actual Behaviour
The inheritance triggers undefined-doc-class diagnostic although the alias can still be ctrl+clicked to go to its source.
Reproduction steps
Snippet that reproduces the issue:
---@class MyClass
---@alias MyAlias MyClass
-- Will trigger undefined-doc-class, though MyAlias can be ctrl+clicked to go to source.
---@class MyNewClass : MyAlias

Start with the supplied Lua reproduction and trace how @alias resolution is handled when a class declares inheritance. Done means MyNewClass : MyAlias no longer emits undefined-doc-class while the alias remains navigable to its source.
