What

In headless mode, Claude Code runs without its interactive screen and is driven by another program through control requests. The large block that checked and queued poll_event requests has been replaced by a call to a shared handler, and its error messages, such as the auto-mode requirement, no longer appear at that spot.

Why

This is a reorganisation of where the checks live. Programs sending poll_event requests go through the shared handler now.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not show whether the shared handler applies the same checks and error messages as before.
