What

Headless mode is Claude Code running without its interactive screen, for example with -p. It now waits for a pending settings fetch to finish, up to a time limit, before it continues, so a refresh of your permission settings can complete first. It also now accepts details for handing over a live session that is being moved to the background.

Why

This supports moving a session you are running in the foreground into the background while it is still going.
