What changed

A new --genesis-override CLI flag was added to the apply command, allowing developers to set genesis parameters (e.g. staking unbonding time, gov voting period) when deploying a node with --preset genesis-chain.

Docs gap addressed

No existing page covering the apply command or its flags was found in the sei-docs repository. The node/ directory likely contains the most appropriate home for this content, but a human reviewer should confirm whether (a) an apply command reference page already exists under a path not returned in the search, (b) this flag belongs in an existing CLI reference page (e.g. node/configuration.md or a seid CLI reference), or (c) a new page should be created. The --preset genesis-chain concept is also undocumented in the content provided — it may need its own section or a cross-reference. The proposed content above is written as a self-contained section stub that can be dropped into whichever page is most appropriate.

Files changed

• node/apply-command.md — No documentation page exists for the apply command or its flags. A new reference page (or section within an existing node/CLI reference) is needed to document --genesis-override.
