In that mode it can still install plugins, which are add-ons that extend what Claude Code can do. Plugins come from marketplaces, which are catalogs that list plugins available to install.\n\nWhen no marketplaces are declared, headless plugin setup used to write a log message and stop there. It now also waits for an extra step to finish before moving on.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe extra step may change which plugins are set up, or how they are set up, when Claude Code runs headless with no marketplaces declared.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
