This also is related to the unresolved part of #212 (comment).

While experimenting with my additions from #323 on the ros2-foxy branch, I stumbled upon this issue from launch_ros ros2/launch_ros#156 when launching the composite mode python launchfile (sensor.composite.launch.py). The behavior is exactly the same as described in the launch_ros issue:

• composite nodes launch correctly only when the namespace, node name, and ros__parameters keys are completely removed from the config (os_sensor_cloud_image_params.yaml), otherwise the sensor composite node fails to launch.

To Reproduce

1. Checkout ros2-foxy (tested from commit 1d7d506) and configure required parameters in os_sensor_cloud_image_params.yaml
2. Colcon build with ROS2 foxy and source the current workspace.
3. Run ros2 launch ouster_ros sensor.composite.launch.py

Expected behavior
All composable nodes launch correctly.

Actual behavior
Sensor node fails with missing parameter error:

[component_container_mt-1] [ERROR] [1715262197.518517912] [ouster.os_sensor]: Must specify a sensor hostname

Describe the solution you'd like
The issue was resolved by ros2/launch_ros#259 in humble and onward (which added support for both types of syntax in .yaml files), but does not appear to be back-ported to foxy (the fixing commit is not present in the foxy branch history). I am not sure if the fix will get to foxy eventually, but I think a quick workaround could be quite straightforward with a pre-processing step that would be added into the launch file:

• First possible solution:
  1. load all data from the params file,
  2. remove any occurences of the ros__parameters key and the keys one line above it (this should be quite consistent, since the ros__parameters key doesn't change),
  3. check for any repeating duplicates and keep only the first occurence,
  4. finally, pass these pre-processed parmeters to all composite nodes.
• Second possible solution:
  1. load all data from the params file,
  2. for each node, extract only the raw parameters (after ros__parameters),
  3. pass these parameters to each node respetively,
• Another solution would be to have a separate params file for the composite launch in foxy, but I think this would be more messy.
