*###Issue : *

A pipeline will experience a silent failure after a timeout, if its .spec.tasks[*].taskRef.apiVersion field is configured with an invalid value, making it difficult to diagnose the problem because no explicit errors are thrown.

The customer expects that it should provide a clear and specific error message when an incorrect value is assigned to the .spec.tasks[*].taskRef.apiVersion field in pipeline. Instead of failing silently after a timeout, the pipeline should immediately flag the invalid apiVersion so the issue can be quickly identified and resolved.
