What the catalogue needs to know about a component without reading its sheet. Deliberately does NOT carry the component's parameters, ports, or anything else derived from the sheet. All of that is read from the body, once, just before it is needed - which is why this cannot drift from the sheet it describes.

Record fields

Record Field	Description
`Description` Full Usage: `Description` Field type: `string`	the catalogue tooltip Field type: `string`
`FormatVersion` Full Usage: `FormatVersion` Field type: `int`	Field type: `int`
`Name` Full Usage: `Name` Field type: `string`	what the user sees, and the base name of the file within the library directory Field type: `string`
`OfferedInCatalogue` Full Usage: `OfferedInCatalogue` Field type: `bool`	False for a sheet that exists only to be used by another component of the same library. Authored, not inferred: working it out meant parsing every sheet of the library to find which of them were instantiated by others. Field type: `bool`
`Requires` Full Usage: `Requires` Field type: `string list`	Other components OF THE SAME LIBRARY that this one instantiates, by name. Referenced rather than embedded, so two components sharing a sub-sheet do not each carry a copy of it. A dependency is materialised alongside the component that needs it. Field type: `string list`
`Section` Full Usage: `Section` Field type: `string`	catalogue section this component is grouped under Field type: `string`
