+## Plan: Fix Default Branch Assumptions
+
+I've identified several places where the code assumes hardcoded default branch names ("main" or "master"). Here's my plan to fix them:
+
+### Issues Found:
+1. **GitHelpers.getDefaultBranch()** - Currently tries remote tracking, then checks for "main", then "master", finally defaults to "main"
+2. **capture-plan.ts** - Hardcodes check for `currentBranch !== 'main' && currentBranch !== 'master'`
+3. **config.ts** - Default protected branches are hardcoded as `['main', 'master']`
+4. **pre-tool-validation.ts** - Falls back to hardcoded `['main', 'master']` if not configured
+
+### Changes to Make:
+
+1. **Improve GitHelpers.getDefaultBranch()** to be more robust:
+   - Keep existing remote HEAD detection (already good)
+   - If no remote, use `git config init.defaultBranch` to get user's configured default
+   - Only fall back to checking for "main"/"master" existence as last resort
+
+2. **Update capture-plan.ts**:
+   - Replace hardcoded check with `currentBranch !== gitHelpers.getDefaultBranch(projectRoot)`
+
+3. **Update config.ts**:
+   - Change default protected branches to dynamically include the actual default branch
+   - Will require making the config initialization aware of the project's default branch
+
+4. **Update pre-tool-validation.ts**:
+   - Use GitHelpers to get actual default branch for fallback instead of hardcoded array
+
+5. **Update tests**:
+   - Ensure tests properly mock getDefaultBranch() where needed
+   - Tests already mostly do this correctly
+
+This will ensure the code works with any default branch name (like "develop", "trunk", etc.) without assumptions.

+# TASK_065: Fix Default Branch Assumptions
+
+## Purpose
+Fix hardcoded assumptions about default branch names ("main"/"master") throughout the codebase to support any configured default branch name (like "develop", "trunk", etc.).
+
+## Status
+**in_progress** - Started: 2025-09-16 19:04
+
+## Requirements
+- [ ] Improve GitHelpers.getDefaultBranch() to use `git config init.defaultBranch` when no remote HEAD is available
+- [ ] Update capture-plan.ts to use dynamic default branch detection instead of hardcoded checks
+- [ ] Update config.ts to dynamically determine default protected branches based on actual project default
+- [ ] Update pre-tool-validation.ts to use GitHelpers for fallback instead of hardcoded array
+- [ ] Update relevant tests to properly mock getDefaultBranch() behavior
+- [ ] Ensure all changes maintain backward compatibility
+
+## Success Criteria
+- [ ] Code works correctly with any default branch name (not just "main"/"master")
+- [ ] GitHelpers.getDefaultBranch() follows proper fallback hierarchy: remote HEAD → git config → branch existence → final fallback
+- [ ] No hardcoded branch name assumptions remain in the identified files
+- [ ] All existing tests pass
+- [ ] New behavior is properly tested
+
+## Technical Approach
+1. **GitHelpers Enhancement**: Add `git config init.defaultBranch` check as intermediate fallback
+2. **Dynamic Detection**: Replace all hardcoded checks with calls to GitHelpers.getDefaultBranch()
+3. **Config Awareness**: Make protected branches configuration aware of project's actual default branch
+4. **Graceful Degradation**: Maintain existing fallback behavior as last resort
+
+## Current Focus
+Analyzing existing GitHelpers.getDefaultBranch() implementation and planning improvements to the fallback hierarchy.
+
+## Next Steps
+1. Examine current GitHelpers.getDefaultBranch() implementation
+2. Add git config fallback to the method
+3. Update capture-plan.ts hardcoded checks
+4. Modify config.ts default protected branches logic
+5. Update pre-tool-validation.ts fallback mechanism
+6. Review and update tests as needed
