After Hermes is installed on an , the agent may answer as if it does not know the current time. It can talk about that already ran as if they are still in the future, or suggest doing something in the morning when it is already morning.
When checked directly, Hermes may say it does not keep constant time awareness and would need a script to provide the time. That matters because a needs time to judge schedules, task order, reminders, and what should happen today.
Key points

- It may describe completed as future events.
- Time awareness is important for schedules, reminders, and task planning.
- Test date, time, past tasks, and upcoming tasks right after setup.
- A time-checking script or server-time tool may be needed.
