# NousResearch/hermes-agent · datetime metadata breaks profile roster responses

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

A datetime/timestamp value in profile YAML ui_meta causes an unserializable payload that silently kills the transport worker, leaving profiles.list requests hanging with no response. Fixes target bot-mode and gateway roster loading affected by this serialization issue.
