Research direction
The issue names ecosystem.config.js and .env files but no implementation files or tests. Start by tracing how PM2 reads ecosystem.config.js and checking for existing configuration tests; done means defining and verifying .env loading behavior without requiring variables to be written explicitly in the ecosystem file.
