Description
I'm using the v0.0.4 release linux binary on Debian 12 and I have discovered an issue where if I want to try archiving a user who has a username beginning with a "-" character, the tool will try to parse it as option instead of as a username, and error. I've not been able to escape this character through any of the usual means, ' " \, it always interprets it as a non-existent option. It is worth explicitly calling out that names starting with "-" are a valid username, and I'm actually seeing quite a number of users in the wild using it as such. Some users even use "--" or "---", and these also crash the program. Any number of dashes at the start of a name are valid FA usernames.

I will try to take a look at the code, but I'm not a Node developer and a new user to this project, so if you have any insight please feel free to let me know.
