Create a project

POST/v1/projects

Creates a project in the credential's organization. Supports the optional `Idempotency-Key` header for safe retries; a project name that already exists in this organization answers 400 `validation_failed` with a `/name` field error (the uniqueness rule the in-app project creator also enforces) — note that when an Idempotency-Key IS supplied, that 400 is itself stored and replayed byte-identically on retry with the SAME key, exactly like any other outcome (D5).
