## Summary

The meal catalog defines the fixed meal slots used by weekly plans.

## Rules

- Slot IDs are stable API values.
- Labels are display text only.
- Default meals are used when a plan has no override for a slot.
- Meal names are normalized by trimming whitespace, collapsing repeated spaces, and lowercasing.
