Research direction

Start with the ROS2 ParameterEvents example at demo_nodes_cpp/src/parameters/parameter_events.cpp, then inspect the image transport plugin parameter handling. The change is complete when plugins can receive parameter updates during execution and use them to change compression parameters without restarting.
