Description

Description of the bug

## (1 hidden parameters are not shown)

etc. . The aparams itself seem to all be there.

See attached yml file
nf-params.yml.txt

Command used and terminal output
nf-core create-params-file --show-hidden nf-core/sarek

Research direction

Start by reproducing nf-core create-params-file --show-hidden nf-core/sarek with nf-core tools 2.14.1 and compare the generated file with the attached nf-params.yml.txt. Trace how the CLI calculates and renders the hidden-parameter count; done means --show-hidden no longer reports parameters as missing when they are present.
