DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Headless loop guards against missing stream event fields

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal1
Headless Mode

A missing timing field in a stream event can no longer crash a headless turn.

What

The headless turn loop now checks that timing fields exist on a stream event before reading them for time-to-request metrics, so a missing field cannot throw mid-turn. Structured-output telemetry and the max-retries error path are otherwise unchanged.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
