Hermes IDE 2.2.4

Fixes

Pasting a few lines while a long command is running no longer freezes the whole window until that command ends, and Ctrl+C still stops the command.
Pasting a large snippet while a command is running no longer freezes that terminal, other terminals, or the opening of new ones when sessions are kept running in the background.
Emoji now take two columns, as the shell and agents expect, so the cursor no longer drifts on lines that contain them.
zsh users who keep their config under ~/.config/zsh now get their prompt, aliases, PATH and plugins in Hermes terminals.
On Linux, terminals no longer fall back to plain ASCII: accented file names and locale-aware tools work without "Setting locale failed" warnings.
Switching to another app and back no longer moves your typing into the terminal while you are in the Library search, renaming a session, writing a commit message or searching.

Switching branches from the Git panel now brings in that branch's files, instead of leaving the previous branch's files behind as staged changes.
A push the server refuses, such as to a protected branch, is now reported as a failure with the server's reason, not as "Pushed".
The stash list now refreshes when stashes change outside the panel, so Drop and Pop act on the stash you clicked.
Pushing, committing with slow hooks, stashing and starting an isolated task no longer freeze the whole window while they run.
On Windows, Git actions no longer flash a console window or steal focus from the terminal.
Pull now refuses with a clear message when no branch is checked out, instead of moving the checked-out commit.
After merging a task locally, you can still open a pull request for its branch.
Feature files and worktree settings saved with a byte order mark, common with some Windows editors, can now be approved, skipped and checked.

Editing a file whose line endings are mixed no longer rewrites every line to a single ending style.
Saving while an autosave is still finishing no longer shows a false "changed on disk" warning.
A permission prompt from a sub-agent working in the background no longer disappears when the main reply finishes.
On Windows, closing an Agent view session or changing its model, permission mode or effort no longer flashes a console window.
Permission rules and MCP servers save again when your Claude settings file is a link into a read-only folder.

In Agent view, session spend no longer climbs faster than real spend with every prompt, so spend caps trip at the right amount.
A spend cap now actually stops an Agent view session when it is reached, instead of only reporting it.
Estimated spend for terminal Claude sessions now includes the work of sub-agents.
After Hermes restarts or you resume an older conversation, estimated spend no longer starts at a partial figure from earlier work.
The Cost Dashboard now shows the real total and the daily and per-provider breakdowns instead of $0.00.

Tasks waiting in the queue when you reopen Hermes now wait for your restored agents and your running-agents limit, instead of all starting at once.
Launching a task on two agents at once now respects the running-agents limit.
Two queued tasks with similar names now get separate branches, so the second one no longer stops on a branch-in-use prompt.
A queued task that fails to start now stays in the queue, marked, so you can retry or remove it instead of losing what you typed.
Feature-tracked tasks written in scripts like Chinese, Japanese, Russian or Hindi each get their own planning files.
Checks no longer run or count as failures while a Feature Track is still planning or waiting for your review.
When a turn ends while checks are still running, its changes are now checked once the earlier run finishes.

Worktree setup no longer hangs, or keeps the new session from opening, when a setup step starts a server in the background.
Per-worktree ports now skip a port that a running dev server already uses.
Worktree setup steps now run correctly for people whose login shell is fish.
Starting Antigravity in a worktree no longer hides your own project hooks file from git, and no longer changes a hooks file your repository tracks.
Codex installed through npm no longer asks you to review Hermes's hooks at every start when Hermes is opened from the Dock, and keeps your own notify program.
On a second Claude account, Hermes now respects the status line you set for that account.
Agent view's terminal for slash commands no longer shows broken symbols on large screens.

View > Toggle Fullscreen and F11 now work on Windows and Linux.
Checking for plugin updates from the command palette now reports a found update or a failed check correctly.
Switching sessions with Cmd/Ctrl+1–9 now works on French and Belgian AZERTY keyboards.
