In general everything on the wiring harness looks in good condition, I try to keep things topped up with ACF50 to prevent corrosion
If everything is working as it should then running with the headlight on will not draw anything from the battery. The battery only exists to start the bike and the alternator takes over when the engine is running.
As you have stated that you have 13.8 volts at tick over then the alternator IS working.
