Description
when developing a yaml schema, it would be useful that when it is modified, the modified file is picked up automatically. Currently, I need to restart VS Code.
Use case:
- create a yaml schema
- modify settings yaml.schemas to point to it
- open a file X.yaml matching the glob pattern provided for yaml.schemas
- call completion in the X.yaml file
- modify the yaml schema, save
- go back to X.yaml editor
--> have completion/validation corresponding to the modified and saved yaml schema

Research direction
Start by tracing how schemas configured through yaml.schemas are loaded and how completion and validation use them. Reproduce the listed workflow in VS Code, then identify the refresh boundary after the schema file is saved. Done means X.yaml reflects the modified schema without restarting VS Code, with completion and validation both updated.
