Description

The bulk user import created via #9652 expects a fully working setup.
It would be good if the initial user could be added to an empty web setup in the same way importing the user(s) from a json file.

I think the pieces should be all there and the database would (just?) need initialisation during bulk import if not already present.

Research direction

Review the bulk user import introduced by #9652 and the empty web-setup path; no file or test is named in the issue. Trace how database initialization and JSON user import currently work, then verify that an initial user can be created unattended in a fresh setup without breaking existing imports.
