errand_list_goods_categories

Returns the list of item categories, for the user to pick which category their item belongs to. The selected code is passed back into goods_category_code on errand_quote. The list has 15 entries. The first 7 are valuable categories (valuable: true), the remaining 8 are ordinary categories — the return order already splits them into these two groups. Pick the closest match; use “Other” when nothing fits.
The item name does not affect claims. goods[].name on errand_quote can be filled in with the user’s own words as-is — the platform does not parse the name. Claims are decided solely by category, so make sure the category is correct.
Ask about insurance for valuable categories. Categories with valuable: true typically cover higher-value items — this is a good moment to ask the user whether they want insurance (insured: true at order creation). Insurance is an extra charge; never enable it on the user’s behalf.
The list is fixed and cacheable, but always render it by the code the endpoint returns rather than a hardcoded list or index position — the category count has changed before and hardcoding will break next time it does.
