startProcess used 'pm2 start <name>' for a process PM2 already knew, which
restarts it with the environment PM2 is holding and never re-reads the file. That
was harmless while an entry was a script path and a cwd. It stopped being
harmless the moment entries carried env.
Seen once, immediately: a plugin's allocated port was re-drawn, the installer
wrote PORT_SITE=34507 into ecosystem.config.cjs, the sidecar went on serving 3011,
and nothing anywhere reported the disagreement. The file and the process simply
disagreed, silently, which is the exact failure the port mechanism was supposed
to remove rather than introduce.
Now it restarts THROUGH the file - 'restart <file> --only <name> --update-env'.
The file is re-read, and --update-env replaces the stored environment rather than
merging into it, so a variable removed from an entry actually goes away.
