Description

## No Topic Visible if running micro ros agent on Humble, but these are visible if the agent is running on Foxy

- Hardware description: Linux and ESP32
- RTOS: -
- Installation type: micro_ros_setup
- Version or commit hash: Humble

#### Steps to reproduce the issue
I have followed the tutorial from the links below:
https://micro.ros.org/docs/tutorials/core/first_application_linux/
https://micro.ros.org/docs/tutorials/core/teensy_with_arduino/

The issue is, if I run the micro ros agent on ROS Humble (both serial or udp), I don't see any topics and nodes related. But in -v6 I am able to see the data is publishing.

The thing is, I am able to subscribe it through node. But I am not able to see the topic list in the terminal.

I have tried unset ROS_DOMAIN_ID, set the same ROS_DOMAIN_ID, set the same RMW_IMPLEMENTATION, unset the RMW_IMPLEMENTATION. But nothing works.

Then I tried to use foxy to run micro ros agent (using docker ros-foxy), I am able to see the topic list on Humble. And I also able to echo it. as you can see the picture below

#### Expected behavior
I should be able to see the topic list, while the micro ros agent runs in the Humble.

#### Actual behavior
Unable to see the topic list, while the micro ros aget runs in the Humble.

#### Additional information
This is my env, even if I didn't set the same ROS_DOMAIN_ID, and didn't set the RMW_IMPLEMENTATION, if I run the agent on Foxy, it still work and detected on Humble ![Screenshot from 2024-06-23 14-05-50](https://github.com/micro-ROS/micro-ROS-Agent/assets/33423340/45af52b9-8d62-42de-933a-3083f88823e7)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the micro-ROS Agent on ROS 2 Humble and compare its -v6 output with the Foxy Docker setup, using both serial and UDP as described. Check the ROS_DOMAIN_ID and RMW_IMPLEMENTATION variations from the report. Done means topics and nodes are discoverable and can be echoed when the agent runs on Humble.
