Deploying an lt Fullstack Project to TurboOps

This skill is the single source of truth for taking a lenne.tech fullstack monorepo (projects/api + projects/app, created by lt fullstack init) from local development to a live deployment on TurboOps (turbo-ops.de) through GitLab CI/CD.

The CI/CD path itself is turnkey — the starters ship a working .gitlab-ci.yml, docker-compose.yml, and build-drift wiring. The one thing that reliably breaks a fullstack rollout is whether turbo deploy actually uploads the docker-compose.yml. If it doesn't, TurboOps has no service list for the stage, falls back to a synthesised single-service deploy with a wrong image reference, and the rollout comes up red (only app rolled out / not found in registry). The fix is one flag on the CI deploy command — no web UI required. Read the Root Cause + Fix section before you touch a stage — it is the reason this skill exists.
