Research direction

Start with the CatalogProviderList and CatalogProvider trait definitions, then trace how catalog, schema, and table retrieval is called throughout the query engine. Define the async behavior needed for network-backed retrieval and identify the affected callers and tests; done means the trait API supports those asynchronous operations without leaving synchronous paths unresolved.
