They do, but I could tell they weren't thrilled at the idea. They asked for a statement from the luthier, which I can get, and appraisal of the guitar, which I can get. I have a much more expensive (and treasured) guitar that I do not want to lose coverage on, so I don't want to risk losing my coverage. I just talked with the luthier again, and she offered to talk to Lowden, get their advice, and go from there.

I’m confused. I thought you resolved this in April.

Concerning that the tech could not figure it out. And, that they left the action high. I'd definitely see another tech as there are only so many things it could be and these things really aren't that complicated. I'm not going to try to diagnose it on the internet but I'm confident a good tech could find it fairly easily.

I agree with Bowie... seems like if the tech you took it to could not find the problem, and left the action that high, my next step would be to find a different tech to look at it.

I would find another tech. No way I wound file a total loss claim for a maintenance item.

I talked to her yesterday, she did check fret heights. She is a really well respected luthier in this area.

Halfway through my writing this, you fixed the issue. So i'll abbreviate what I was writing to this: The "luthier" you took this to - reputation aside - is a hack. I don't know who she is but you don't "fix" an issue by dialing up the action, shimming the saddle and introduction forward relief until the instrument is unplayable. My advice would be, never ever use that person again. Anyone who removed all the strings to do the work you described should have found the string - not guitar - issue.

I would absolutely get second opinion from another luthier/tech.

I'm not familiar with nylon strings (I should fix that ) but what does it mean to "tighten the windings" ?

It's referring to the string winding around the tuning peg. Doesn't matter, in this case, if steel or nylon. This photo would be, on several levels, what not to do.
