Catcher requires re-login to see phase change

When phase is changed to dev-response, users need to logout and log back in to see the UI for dev-response. Sync should actually check if the phase has changed and update the UI without the need of re-login.

Start by tracing the sync logic that handles phase changes and how the current phase controls the UI. Confirm the issue by changing a phase to dev-response, then verify that the dev-response UI appears without logging out and back in.
