+`holocron setup` syncs GitHub's repo-level default branch (`HEAD`) — what a
+fresh clone checks out, what `gh pr create`/the compare UI target by default,
+and what Sentinel's `validateConfig()` reads (it only ever reads config from
+the repo's default branch, never a PR ref — a deliberate security boundary).
+Omit this field to leave GitHub's current setting untouched; most repos never
+need it. It exists for a repo using a `main`/`alpha` prerelease-channel split
+where active development happens on a non-`main` branch: set this to that
+branch so Sentinel validates against what's actually being developed, then
+change it back once that branch merges to `main` for a stable cut and stops
+being the active branch.
