StatusFixed (2.1.0)Fixed in PanelAlpha Engine 2.1.0. The error is resolved on our side, so you will not run into it anymore.
Why it happens
The deployment stops during the preparing stage, before platform detection or build. Engine bootstrap setup tries to copy .gitkeep into the account’s entrypoint.d directory, but that directory does not exist or is not available at the expected path.
