Description of problem:

Starting with OpenShift Pipelines 1.11, validation errors are being reported when final task has failed or was skipped. This was not a problem with OpenShift Pipelines 1.10 and earlier.

Details can be found in Pipeline failing with "invalid pipelineresults" when referencing results of skipped tasks and a fix is waiting to be merged via don't return validation error when final tasks failed/skipped.

It's therefore requested to support the ready fix to have it merged in reasonable time and then brought to OpenShift Pipelines 1.11, 1.12 and 1.13 as currently customers are unable to update to OpenShift Pipelines 1.11 or later because of that issue.

Workaround
