# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Redundant parsing and reuse in roster polling

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These issues and PRs concern unnecessary repeated parsing of profile YAML and redundant recomputation of session and ui_meta fields during the roster poll cycle when underlying files have not changed. The focus is on identifying and reducing wasteful work in the profiles listing path.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-117601`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.67`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.

## Closed / duplicate issues

- #117383: \[Perf\]: profiles.list parses each profile.yaml twice per poll — the ui_meta read repeats the listing's own parse
