Create a new audit project

Creates a new audit project for a client. Costs 1,000 credits. Returns the project with status setup. After creation, the typical next step is to add source material, either a human uploads documents via the web app, or an MCP-connected agent calls audity_upload_document/audity_create_interview_session directly (no REST equivalent exists for these, see the MCP-only capabilities note above), then trigger POST /api/projects/{id}/audit-analysis to run the synthesis pipeline. The async audit endpoint is available for projects that already have current document and interview analyses.

Plan required: an audit-capable write plan. If the caller’s plan cannot create projects, the API returns 403 with tier details.
