Sudden Pipeline Failures: fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/pipelines/ (Severity 3)

Problem: Since Friday, customers have been experiencing errors when running pipelines, specifically receiving errors like 'fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/pipelines/PIPELINE_ID'.

Impact: This issue has led to increased reports of pipeline failures.

Causes: The problem began occurring after a feature flag was enabled on Friday, which changed the deletion logic.

Response strategy: The feature flag that likely caused these errors has been disabled, and monitored the situation for any further reports of pipeline failures. Further reports didn't arrive, so we consider the incident resolved.
