prints no longer start

I have been playing around with the BTT SFS V2 Filament sensor a bunch and making lots of changes in my printer.cfg Up to this point it seemed to be a weird bug that only happened occasionally while experimenting with the filament sensor gcode insertion: I print and everything is normal from heating the bed to pre-heating the hot end, and meshing. However as soon as the hot end is heating to its final printing temp the print never starts. It just hangs on heating the extruder yet the temps are reading correctly and are at temp. This is now not an occasional bug that restarting fixed but since I upgraded to 48v and 5160 steppers and the resulting changes in the printer.cfg it won’t get past the heating extruder step. Any idea where I need to look to fix the issue? It feels like I broke something with all the printer.cfg changes and has nothing to do with hardware.
Solution:
Btw the issue was also a need to re PID tune the extruder.

you should have the messages BEFORE doing the action so that if an action causes it to wait you will see the message and know what it is doing. You should also have it print out to the console using RESPOND MSG="Filament not detected, pausing..." for example

Ya. I was playing with the new mainsail pop up msg but it never worked so I abandoned it. I tried to simplify things but got lost along the way I think. Damn. That was it. Wow. Ok. Thank you!
