[Self-hosted] Unexpected deleted users

Observed behaviour

I noticed an unexpected user entry in the Fluxer Admin panel under the admin panel The entry appears as: DeletedUser#0000 ID: 1 Status: User I did not delete this user, and I did not perform any action that should have created or produced a DeletedUser#0000 account. When I click the result, the Admin panel open the page reports but it show: User Not Found No user found with ID 1 I have also checked inside the PostgreSQL users data but I did not found any deleted users.

Reproduction steps

Start a self-hosted Fluxer instance using the v1 release with PostgreSQL as the database backend.
Log in to the Fluxer Admin panel.
Navigate to Lookup → Users.
Perform a user lookup.
An unexpected user entry named DeletedUser#0000 appears with ID 1.
Click the DeletedUser#0000 entry.
Fluxer navigates to /admin/users/1.
The page displays “User Not Found – No user found with ID 1.”
Check the PostgreSQL users data; the DeletedUser#0000 entry is not present as an existing user.
No user was manually deleted during this process, and no database records were manually modified.

This is a built-in dummy user! I'll take a look if we still use it, and whether it can be removed. It is not actually something that exists in the database, but it is returned by the user repository method.

now I understand in fact I couldn't find it in the database, if it's just a placeholder there are no problems, I opened this issue thinking it was a bug!

Will be fixed via https://github.com/fluxerapp/fluxer/commit/b30a4f5d14d98a9743edd04472b38f2939e26e66 (built-in dummy user IDs 0 and 1 won't be able to have their user detail views opened in the admin panel).
