Description
- [x] switch tools repo to `main`
- [x] update pipeline_health page
- [ ] switch modules repo to `main` (build in logic to check default branch early, make switch later)
- [ ] switch configs repo to `main`
- [ ] test-datasets (should be easy?)

Research direction
Start by tracing how nf-core/tools determines repository default branches, especially the modules, configs, and test-datasets handling named in the task list. Check the existing tools-repo switch and pipeline_health update for the expected pattern. Done means the remaining repositories use main safely, with an early default-branch check and tests covering the transition.
