Problem

The web create paths are not trustworthy right now.

Observed:

:Forge issue create web repeatedly did nothing
:Forge pr create web from main logged checking for existing PR... and pushing..., then did not open anything
non-web PR create paths correctly stop on no changes, but the web path skips that safeguard

Expected

shared preflight rules across create modes
clear Forge-level errors when the web command fails
browser opens only after the command actually succeeds

Notes

PR create should also treat “current branch is the effective base branch” as an invalid case and stop early.

Fixed on main by the merged web-create follow-ups, including the preflight/reporting fixes and the resolved head/base-target handling in #205.
