Description

Before proceeding, is there an existing issue or discussion for this?
Description

Currently Region does not define the map name. In the event robots have different maps it is not possible to distinguish between regions. On the other hand GraphElementKey does define a "map" field. Should we consider adding a map field to the target Region message?

Research direction

Read rmf_prototype_msgs/msg/Region.msg alongside rmf_prototype_msgs/msg/GraphElementKey.msg, then trace how Region is defined and used. Resolve whether Region should carry the existing map identifier and confirm that the resulting message can distinguish regions from different maps.
