What
Headless runs are runs of Claude Code without the interactive screen. At the end of a turn, Claude Code used to always wait for files still being downloaded. It now skips that wait when turns waiting in the queue hold the same files. This sits behind a switch that reads on.
Why
Headless runs with several queued turns that share files can move on to the next turn sooner.
