Run #120 (v0.3.0 deploy) failed at the microservice step: every service folder
and ecosystem.config.js were "absent", and pm2 reported "File ecosystem.config.js
not found". Root cause: ~/pms on pms1 is a sparse checkout limited to App/, so
`git checkout -f $TAG` never materialised the service folders or the root
ecosystem.config.js. The app itself deployed fine (App/ is in the sparse set) and
prod stayed healthy.
- deploy.yml: before managing services, disable sparse-checkout (and clear the
legacy core.sparseCheckout config + .git/info/sparse-checkout), then re-checkout
the tag to materialise the full tree. Idempotent / no-op once expanded.
- Guard the pm2 call: if ecosystem.config.js is still absent, fail with a clear
diagnostic (+ sparse-checkout list) instead of the cryptic PM2 error.
- README: note the sparse-checkout expansion.
Needs a fresh tag (e.g. v0.3.1) to re-run the deploy.
