Pull request overview

This PR adds type annotations to several functions in the coverstore codebase to improve code clarity and type safety. The changes introduce type hints for function parameters and return types, and define two TypedDict-style classes (CoverDbDetails and PartialCoverDetails) to provide structure for cover detail objects.

• Added type annotations to utility functions (ol_things, ol_get) and core cover handling functions
• Introduced CoverDbDetails and PartialCoverDetails classes to type cover detail objects
• Refactored variable naming in the cover.GET method for better clarity (e.g., value → cover_id)

I didn't test this locally but we need to fix the key string issue.
Otherwise the types themselves look right.

Also today I learned about the _ support for large numbers.

This is a web storage because that's what the db returns.

Finally got around to putting this on testing the other day and it's been going strong Gave it another review and I think this one is safe to merge
