Magento has separate attributes for categories and products and these can have the same attribute codes. e.g. `name` or `description`. For Klevu standard attributes this is not an issue, however, for custom attributes, this could lead to name clashes in Klevu. Therefore any custom category attribute will be prefixed with `cat__`. Product attributes remain unchanged.
e.g. 
a product attribute `list` would be registered as `list` 
a category attribute `list` would be registered as `cat__list`

Please keep this in mind when creating pipeline YAML files to sync categories.
