Issue #115 requested changing the default from 'To Do' to 'Planning',
but investigation reveals this is already implemented.
Findings:
- Code has defaulted to 'Planning' since initial commit (8a79755e, Feb 9)
- README documentation correctly states 'defaults to Planning' (line 308)
- Tool description confirms 'defaults to Planning' behavior
Timeline:
- Feb 9, 2026: task_create implemented with Planning default
- Feb 10, 2026: Issue #115 filed (requesting already-implemented feature)
No code changes needed - feature already works as requested.
Added VERIFICATION.md documenting the current implementation and
providing evidence that the requested behavior is already active.
Addresses issue #115
