The system address book gets created with the second user added to a Nextcloud. It should happen when the initial user is added at setup time.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Set up Nextcloud
  2. scan oc_addressbooks for the system address book

Research direction

Start by tracing how the initial user is created during setup and where the system address book is inserted into oc_addressbooks. Compare that path with the second-user path described in the issue, then add a regression test. Done means the system address book exists immediately after setup with the initial user.
