Steering knuckle possibly broken by shop? Won’t give my car back without fixing it

So I took my 2004 subaru outback to a shop to get a ball joint replaced for 300. Well after starting the job i got a call saying that the knuckle was cracked and I would have to get it replaced for $1400. They said I could come look at it and I saw this. To me it looks like they pried it open with something which resulted in the cracking. What also leads me to believe this is the mark under the crack (above red arrow) that could’ve been caused by a tool. as well as the lack of rust inside the crack. I asked about it and they said it was already like that but I have a hard time believing that. If this really was cracked before they started replacing the ball joint, shouldn’t it have been obvious?

The shop said they can’t give me my car back without fixing this because it’s unsafe unless I want to pay a s**t ton of money to have it towed off the lift. What should I do?
