Description

Default is mentioned occasionally in the book, but I think it could use its own page.

Research direction

Review the existing book pages that mention Default and follow their structure and example conventions. Add a dedicated page with examples and guidance on when to use or avoid Default; done means the page is included in the book and clearly covers those cases.
