# master_branch_default ## v1 **Why this iteration:** Lifted from `conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.md:122` + `conductor/tier2/commands/tier-2-auto-execute.md:35-36,56` — the repo's default branch is `master`, not `main`. Scripts that default to `main` silently fail; the agent must hardcode `master` in fetch/base/clone operations. **Source:** `conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.md:122` + `conductor/tier2/commands/tier-2-auto-execute.md:35-36,56` --- **Lifted:** 2026-07-03 scavenge sweep batch 4/5: tracks + commands + styleguides + todos
