# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Virtualize git file-tree to limit DOM node count

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

A large untracked directory causes the git file-tree panel to render hundreds of thousands of DOM nodes, leading to excessive memory use and UI freezes. The associated fix introduces virtualization to cap the number of DOM nodes rendered.
