Description
Expected Behaviour
When an input set is updated for a particular pipeline for eg they add a run time variable,On re-run it should throw an error (as the previous execution won't have that input).On Harness it is handled on the UI
For eg (testvariable is the updated input)

Actual behaviour
So currently on re-run on updated input set ,it will pass null for runtime variables which is not ideal.

Research direction
The issue mentions no files or tests. Start by tracing the plugin's re-run functionality and how it handles updated pipeline input sets, then reproduce the case where a runtime variable was added. Done means re-running detects the missing input and reports an error instead of passing null.
