Catalogue

The catalogue lists every application and script that can be attached to a deployment sequence, so the web UI can present them as toggleable options.

    }
  ]
}

Adding an application or script

1. Copy the installer to \\SERVER\Software\... (or the script to \\SERVER\Scripts\...).
2. Add an entry to catalogue.json with a unique id.
3. Set requiredByDefault: true if it should always be installed regardless of operator selection — such entries are shown as locked/checked in the web UI and cannot be unselected.

The catalogue is served by GET /api/catalogue and GET /api/catalogue/:category.
