ᐅ Installation of the underfloor heating system in the upper floor hallway area

Hello everyone,
As you can see from the attachment, we are currently installing the underfloor heating. We are a bit uncertain about the next steps for the hallway on the upper floor, so here is an explanation:
The heating circuit manifold (HKV) is located in the master bedroom behind the door. From there, the supply and return lines each run into the children's room. If I don’t run the underfloor heating from the bathroom through the wall to the manifold (which was still possible until now), a third supply and return line would have to go through the hallway.
A separate heating circuit for the hallway would be quite small, as the pipes to the adjacent rooms already take up considerable space.
Additionally, the hallway on the ground floor is also heated. That leads me to wonder how the hallway on the upper floor can be controlled, since it is actually an open space between the ground and upper floors. I have planned a KNX system with appropriate regulation based on temperature sensors.
Should I simply omit the separate circuit for the upper hallway, since it will naturally warm up from below and the supply and return lines will also heat the hallway somewhat? Or should I install a separate circuit? Or will the floor become too cold in areas where there are no supply and return lines?
If I do add a small heating circuit, how would the control work? In theory, the two hallways would then be "working against each other."
Thanks for your answers and best regards!
