Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the Gen 2 `a.handler.function` entry point and the `backend.ts` override path that uses `addLambdaDataSource`. Compare the requested behavior with the linked Gen 1 cross-region function documentation. Done means an existing function can be referenced with both its name and region without requiring the override.
