Description

For replication mode, the schema can change, and the transformation rules might need to change accordingly. Have a way of supporting automatic reloads to avoid having to stop the process each time a new sensitive column is added.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating how replication mode loads transformation rules and handles schema changes, then determine how rules should reload when a sensitive column is added without stopping the process. Done means the updated rules take effect automatically during replication.
