Description
Hi there,
I’d like to suggest adding an is-headless? reporter to NetLogo.
In some cases, for performance reasons, it’s useful to disable certain procedures when running in headless mode. While NetLogo already disables some features automatically, it cannot skip user-defined procedures, such as those handling plot calculations outside the widget.
Having an is-headless? reporter would allow users to conditionally disable these procedures directly in their code.

Research direction
The issue names no implementation files or tests. Start by locating NetLogo's existing reporter definitions and the headless-mode entry point, then verify the new reporter in both headless and GUI execution; done means user code can conditionally skip procedures when headless.
