Description

Currently set manually in the demonstrator mip_convert.cfg.

https://github.com/MetOffice/CDDS/blob/574dd77aa358d6d8eadbb6e617547d830353308f/demonstrator/mip_convert.cfg#L37-L38

This should probably be set during the configure step.

Also it should be noted that the cmip7_grid.py is just a duplication of those in `cmip6``

Research direction

Start with the configure step and the referenced lines in demonstrator/mip_convert.cfg, then compare cdds/cdds/common/plugins/cmip7/cmip7_grid.py with its CMIP6 counterpart. Check the CMIP7 region definitions in cmip7_region.json. Done means Region is derived from grid and grid_label during configuration rather than set manually, with the duplication question addressed.
