Description

Allow ros2 param load PARAMETER_FILE to apply a parameter file to all currently running nodes matched by that file.

The existing ros2 param load NODE_NAME PARAMETER_FILE form is unchanged.

System-wide loading reuses rclpy.parameter.parameter_dict_from_yaml_file() per discovered node, so exact node entries, namespaces, and wildcard rules use the same matching behavior as normal parameter loading. The command also excludes its own temporary direct discovery node from wildcard targets.

Fixes #778.

Is this user-facing behavior change?

Yes. ros2 param load can now omit the node name to load a multi-node parameter file across matching running nodes.

Additional Information

Added focused coverage for the new one-positional CLI form, multi-node matching, unmatched nodes, and the no-match error path.

Did you use Generative AI?

Yes. AI was used to assist with tests.

Allow `ros2 param load PARAMETER_FILE` to apply a parameter file to every running node matched by its node and wildcard entries while preserving the existing node-specific form.
