Description

Description of feature

As requested here, the pipeline should switch to nf-schema. As the validation needs to use features of nf-schema and the current template still uses nf-validation, this will be implemented once nf-schema is included in the template.

Research direction

Review the current pipeline template and its nf-validation setup, then compare the requested nf-schema features with the existing checksamplesheet.py workflow. Done means the template supports nf-schema and the pipeline no longer relies on checksamplesheet.py for validation.
