Description

Description of feature

Just a foot gun I shoot myself with often. If you turn off the CI file check, then you miss version bumps in the file (or at least I do 🙃).

It might already be checking for things but we could make sure the version matches the current Nextflow version we want to support.

https://github.com/nf-core/demultiplex/pull/155#pullrequestreview-1776843147

Ideally though I'd like to move most of the logic to a central actions repo, and with nf-test most of the creative stuff people have to do should just go away.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the CI file-check behavior discussed in nf-core/demultiplex pull request 155 and the proposed centralization in nf-core/setup-nextflow issue 22. Define how the template should verify that its Nextflow version matches the supported version, then confirm the check catches version bumps without disabling other CI checks.
