Create Coverage Type

Creates a new company-specific coverage type. The coverage type is inserted into the coverage_types table with company_identifier set to the company ID.

This endpoint only creates the coverage type row — it does not enable it. To control which coverage types are active for a company, use the Set Enabled Coverage Types endpoint.

The key is a caller-provided string (not a UUID), typically following the convention {shortName}_{snake_case_name} (e.g., vfs_general_liability).
