Add root cause analysis and remediation for ArgoCD deployment failure

[Copilot]

ArgoCD deployment failure for 2-broken-apps application traced to malformed apiVersion: apps/v (should be apps/v1) in external repository's order-service Deployment manifest at line 178. Intentionally broken commit (8cd04df) for testing notification system.
