To find the circumcenter of a triangle, it is necessary to find the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of at least two of the sides of the triangle. That does mean that step 2 should mention CE as a perpendicular bisector of side AD. Likely there should be an additional step in the proof. How do you know that the perpendicular bisector of side AD passes through B? The reason is that a point lies on the perpendicular bisector of a segment if and only if that point is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment. That is the case, since AB=BD.
Here is a Desmos graph you might want to visit to see circumcircle of a triangle in action. Click the toggle perpendicular bisector links to see the perpendicular bisectors (and if you show BC perpendicular bisector you will also see the circumcircle)

Yes, even though BE is indeed a median, you do not make that deduction based on the fact that C is a circumcenter.05/09/23
