Description
I tried to find a method to change pipeline_info/params_{timestamp}.json to another path, but could not find any exposed config parameters for that.
Did I just miss it, or is there no exposed way to adjust the output?
Reason:
It's really inconvenient for me because I now have a lot of runs where I manually set the timestamp, but their associated params.json don't match. I know of params.trace_report_suffix that's what I adjusted, but it did not seem to affect params.json.

Research direction
Start by locating the code that generates pipeline_info/params_{timestamp}.json and review how params.trace_report_suffix is handled. Determine whether an exposed output-path setting exists; done means users can configure the params.json destination and its behavior is covered by the relevant checks.
