Default "the consciousness that is generated from previous lives"
From Ajahn Sucitto's "Kamma and the End of Kamma", page iv:

Variously translated as ‘formations,’ ‘volitional formations,’
‘fabrications’ (and more) I render sankhara as ‘programs and
patterns.’ Some of these programs are functions, such as
metabolism, that are bound up with the life-force (ayusankhara);
some are carried by the consciousness that is generated from
previous lives; and some are formed through this-life interactions. Did the Buddha actually teach this? Isn't Sucitto just repeating (rebirthing?) the bhikkhu Sati's heresy (MN 38) here?

What do you think?
