Describe the bug

Bootstrapping users fails when one user's id contains another user's id.

To Reproduce

Prepare 2 users under "user-configs"

$ cat user-configs/1.json
{
  "id": "johndoe",
  "email": "johndoe@example.com"
}
$ cat user-configs/2.json
{
  "id": "john",
  "email": "john@example.com"
}

Execute bootstrap.sh
See error

--- johndoe ---
User "johndoe" successfully created
--- johndoe ---

--- john ---
Database error: `None of the records are updated`
jq: error (at <stdin>:0): Cannot iterate over null (null)

Expected behavior

Both users created successfully.

Logs

N/A

Additional context

Changing the order of the files ("john" before "johndoe") works.

--- john ---
User "john" successfully created
--- john ---

--- johndoe ---
User "johndoe" successfully created
--- johndoe ---

Note that bootstrap.sh is a user-contributed script, I don't claim to understand how it works.

I would welcome a PR fixing it, though. It's just bash, so even if you can't write rust it should be doable.
