Reload global config on demand #6486

Closed hjoliver closed 1 week ago

Currently users have to stop and restart workflows to update global config.

Question: should we provide global config reload on demand?

It's not exactly a duplicate - this is about on-demand reload, but I'll add a note to the other issue.

Yes, the other issue is about doing this on a timer, not on reload, but the functionality / changes required to make it work are common so I will merge this use case in.
