Description:
Since an update between versions 40.53 and 40.62 of Renovate, we are experiencing an issue where Renovate merges MRs even when the MR pipeline fails. This happens despite the GitLab parameter "pipelines must succeed" being disabled and needing to stay that way.

Current Configuration:
Here is the Renovate configuration we are currently using:

Looking at the changelog between those versions, I can't see anything obvious at the time

Given the lack of logs and updates, it's likely that this has already been solved, so closing as "outdated" - please re-raise if you find this to be recurring!
