Description
Calling api.query.system.blockHash using the API or the pionner web UI (https://testnet.joystream.org/#/chainstate)
seem to return invalid value for the BlockNumber 1
Code example:
let hash = await api.query.system.blockHash(1);
console.log(hash);
Output:
0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Research direction
The report identifies api.query.system.blockHash(1) and the Pioneer web UI as entry points. Start by reproducing the zero-hash result for block 1 through both paths and trace the corresponding chain-state query; done means the query returns the valid block hash instead of the reported zero value.
