```ini
gen=1
genproclimit=1
mint=1
```

The daemon would:
1. Show `"numthreads": 0` in `getmininginfo`
2. Potentially hang on startup

However, manually running `./verus setgenerate true 1` after startup worked correctly.

The `komodo_args()` function runs **before** the configuration file is loaded.

In bitcoind.cpp:

| Line | Code | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| 113 | `ParseParameters(argc, argv)` | Command-line args parsed |
| 142 | `komodo_args(argv[0])` | Sets `KOMODO_MININGTHREADS` |
| 161 | `ReadConfigFile(mapArgs, mapMultiArgs)` | **Config file loaded here** |

When `komodo_args()` executes (line 142), it checks for `-gen` in `komodo_utils.h:1746-1750`:

```cpp
if ( GetBoolArg("-gen", false) != 0 )
{
    KOMODO_MININGTHREADS = GetArg("-genproclimit",-1);
}
else KOMODO_MININGTHREADS = 0;
```

At this point, `mapArgs` only contains **command-line arguments**. Config file settings (`gen=1`, `genproclimit=1`, `mint=1`) haven't been loaded yet.

Since `-gen` isn't found, `KOMODO_MININGTHREADS` is set to `0` and never updated.

1. **Added `extern` declaration** for `KOMODO_MININGTHREADS` in init.cpp
2. **Set `KOMODO_MININGTHREADS`** in init.cpp after the config file has been read
3. **Moved `GenerateBitcoins()` call** to after `SetRPCWarmupFinished()` to ensure the node is fully initialized before starting mining threads

**init.cpp:**
- Added `extern int32_t KOMODO_MININGTHREADS;` declaration
- Set `KOMODO_MININGTHREADS` from config after it's loaded
- Deferred `GenerateBitcoins()` until after RPC warmup completes
