I have done the following

• I have searched the existing issues
• If possible, I've reproduced the issue using the 'main' branch of this project

Steps to reproduce

container system start
container network ls --format json

Current behavior

Actual behavior is that the creationDate value (expressed in seconds since Date reference time) corresponds to the time when ls subcommand was run.

Expected behavior

creationDate should reflect the value stored in the persistent network config, which should be set at the time when the network was initially created, or zero seconds after the epoch time if no creationDate field exists on the config.

Environment

- OS: 26
- Xcode: 26
- Container: main

Relevant log output
