We should do better indeed, though I=E2=80=99m not sure how. One solution would be to not need those catalogs on the build side in the first place, which means making sure that error handling and logging always happens on the =E2=80=9Chost side=E2=80=9D, as is the case for prett= y much everything else. Ludo=E2=80=99.
