Decision: rename default branch master -> main? #15

Description

@jonfroehlich

All Colab/Binder badge URLs (and the textbook's wrapper links) pin the master branch, e.g. .../github/makeabilitylab/signals/blob/master/.... If the default branch is ever renamed to main, every badge URL and every textbook wrapper link must change in lockstep or they break.

It's cheapest to settle this before the v2.0 textbook hard-wires the links. The prior lean was to keep master (to avoid churning the badge/wrapper links); this issue exists to make that an explicit, recorded decision rather than an accident.

Decision needed: rename mastermain, or keep master?

If we rename, this issue tracks the coordinated URL update across the README badges and the physcomp wrapper links (makeabilitylab/physcomp#116).

Part of v2.0 textbook-integration readiness — see makeabilitylab/physcomp#116.
