Description of problem:

The Pipelines view in the web console is missing from several (but not all) of a series clusters that appear to be otherwise identical. There's no apparent cause or clear differentiator from what causes a cluster to be affected or not.

Workaround: The issue is consistently resolved by reinstalling just the Pipelines operator (leaving operand resources alive). 

Prerequisites (if any, like setup, operators/versions):

All clusters share the same base configuration when the issue occurs:

• OpenShift 4.18.31
• OpenShift Pipelines 1.20.2

Steps to Reproduce

(Issue is not consistently reproducible)

1.  Upgrade cluster from 1.20.1 to 1.20.2

Actual results:

Once the OLM completes Pipelines operator upgrade, Pipelines tab in console goes missing.

Expected results:

Pipelines tab remains visible in console.

Reproducibility (Always/Intermittent/Only Once):

Intermittent.

Acceptance criteria: 

Definition of Done:

Build Details:

Additional info (Such as Logs, Screenshots, etc):

• many of the clusters do not appear to have fully completed the Tekton install/upgrade, but there's no clear correlation between the state of the upgrade and the console view
• the Pipelines view is still wholly visible in the Developer console
