npm create-user can't create users without interaction if provided with password

[hpckurt]

What happened?

I'm trying to set up an automated script for launching and running Librechat. However, I've run into an issue when trying to create users. Each time I try to auto-create a user using npm create-user, it forces me to interact with it.

The expected output is for Librechat to create the user without any interaction needed by the user.

Version Information

36f0365

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run npm create-user with a password
2. Librechat requires email verification interaction

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Relevant log output

$ npm run create-user testing@test.com hello tester testing123 --email-verified=True

Email verified? (Y/n, default is Y):

If `y`, the user's email will be considered verified.
      
If `n`, and email service is configured, the user will be sent a verification email.

If `n`, and email service is not configured, you must have the `ALLOW_UNVERIFIED_EMAIL_LOGIN` .env variable set to true,
or the user will need to attempt logging in to have a verification link sent to them.

Changing the command to npm run create-user testing@test.com hello tester testing123 -- --email-verified=True works. However, the documentation should be updated to reflect this, or the code updated to not require --email-verified=True
