Research direction
Start at the brew-browser flow that runs brew install --cask, using the reported cursor command and existing-app error as the reproduction case. Trace how install failures are surfaced and determine where an override choice belongs in the interface. Done means an override can replace an existing app while the default install behavior remains unchanged.
