Type Alias StatChannelCreateType

StatChannelCreateType: "liveUpdates" | "followers"

What createStatChannels accepts, which is NOT StatChannelKind.

liveUpdates is the same counter StatChannelKind calls isLive. The create body has said liveUpdates since counters were made from POST /panel, and the rest of the stat-channel surface says isLive; the server keeps both rather than breaking existing callers, and its RESPONSE always speaks StatChannelKind. So you send liveUpdates and read isLive back, deliberately.
