Invoked by the branch capability skill once that skill has assembled
the full branch name from the type prefix and slug. You usually do not
invoke this directly — the capability layer is where judgment lives.
Delegate to the script:

<branch-name> — the fully assembled <type>/<slug> (e.g. feat/add-date-filtering).git checkout -b "$name".
