Description
A nice feature for nf-schema would be some kind of option to make the plugin automatically check a parameter again when it has been changed.
Ideally this feature could completely replace the validateParameters function to work out of the box, but not sure if this is possible as a nextflow plugin without making the code extremely slow. This would need some testing :)

Research direction
Start by reading the existing validateParameters function and the nf-schema Nextflow plugin context. Determine whether parameters can be revalidated automatically after changes without unacceptable performance costs, then add tests covering the proposed behavior and confirm that validation works without requiring validateParameters.
