Owner

The gap

madt_branch_create refuses a name that already exists (internal/service/git/branch_create.go:72, CLI internal/cmd/git/branch.go:294). The refusal names no next step. The usual intent is to move to that branch, and madt_switch (#867) does that.

What I want

The "already exists" refusal names madt_switch(branch="<name>") on MCP and madtea switch <name> on the CLI, through the same surface-text seam that the commit guard uses.

Acceptance criteria

The MCP refusal names madt_switch, and the CLI refusal names madtea switch.
A test covers each surface.

Depends on #867.
