[Web Client] Policy.GENESIS_BLOCK_NUMBER returns 0

[onmax]

The static property GENESIS_BLOCK_NUMBER is 0 in the Policy class

import init, { Policy } from '@nimiq/core/web'

await init() // Nees to wait otherwise Policy is undefined

const app = document.querySelector<HTMLDivElement>('#app')!
app.innerHTML = `
    Genesis Block Number is ${Policy.GENESIS_BLOCK_NUMBER}<br/>
    Slots ${Policy.SLOTS}<br/>
    Batches per epoch ${Policy.BATCHES_PER_EPOCH}
`

Prints the following:

Genesis Block Number is 0
Slots 512
Batches per epoch 720

Code in the Playground

Using the getPolicyConstant method from the RPC, the Genesis block number is 3032010.

Am I using the web client incorrectly? Thank you!

The genesis block number depends on the Network. So I'm guessing that part doesn't work? The Policy needs to be initialized somehow first.

I guess optimally, the genesis block number would not be part of the policy, since the genesis block can be fed at runtime. The way Policy can currently return the genesis block number is made possible by some late-initialization hacks, which didn't work out here, I guess.
