Subject: [PATCH] Skip n8n Deploy stack task in check mode
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The command module validates args.chdir before honoring check mode, so
dry runs fail with ENOENT on the stack dir (file task only pretends to
create it). Gate Deploy stack on ansible_check_mode — dry runs should
not run docker compose up anyway.
