"Start Workflow" dropdown shows no process (v6.3.13-DEV)

Hi OpenKM Team,
I'm currently testing the workflow feature on my OpenKM instance, but I'm facing an issue where no process appears in the "Start Workflow" dropdown after deployment.
My environment:
What I’ve tried:
Process definition '2' has no forms.xml file
I noticed that the official tutorial video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ugBYf5ggu8) doesn't mention needing a forms.xml, but the logs seem to require it.
I'm currently testing the workflow feature on my OpenKM instance, but I'm facing an issue where no process appears in the "Start Workflow" dropdown after deployment.
My environment:
- OpenKM Version: 6.3.13-DEV (build: 058e5bf)
- I’m using Eclipse to deploy the process (.jpdl.xml, .gpd.xml, and .jpg)
- Deployment is reported as successful in the Eclipse plugin
- The process image is visible under the Workflow > Process Definition tab
- However, when I go to a document and click “Start Workflow”, the dropdown is empty
What I’ve tried:
- Verified that task-node1 exists in the .jpdl.xml
- Restarted Tomcat / OpenKM
- Cleared browser cache
- Verified user has sufficient permission
