Start by searching the repository for phase_center_catalog and read how the current dictionary is created, accessed, and validated. Identify the relevant data-model entry points and tests before deciding what object shape and typing are intended. Done means the catalog is represented by an object with robust checking, with existing behavior covered by tests.
