Being new to threadless, it hadn't dawned on me that there'd be an expansion plug inside the steerer tube, as is commonplace with threaded steerers.

Initially I began searching for the cause of a 'click' I could hear while standing at rest with my front brake applied then pushing hard against the handlebar. I thought perhaps it was from a maladjusted headset, when in fact it turned out to be the front disc brake's pads moving ever so slightly against their retaining pins. Seems inconsequential enough of an annoyance unless and until I learn otherwise.
Try turning the fork 90* and then with the ft brake locked rock the bike fore and aft again. This will position the disks and pads to see no rotational forces when testing the headset adjustment. Andy.
