Research direction

The issue asks whether parameters on another ROS 2 node can be listened to, citing rclcpp::SyncParameterClient, but does not name files or tests. Start by reading the parameter-generation and runtime entry points and checking how ROS 2 parameter clients are used. Done means external-node parameter changes can be received; the issue does not specify expected behavior or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is it possible to listen for parameters on another node, like with rclcpp::SyncParameterClient?
