Auto DevOps pipelines shouldn't result in "failed" status
Problem to solve
I really wish Auto DevOps wouldn't be enabled by default/mysteriously when there's no .gitlab-ci.yml and it hasn't been manually enabled. You end up with the red 'build: failed' icon which appears to be impossible to delete/hide even if you disable Pipelines under project permissions and disable everything under CI/CD.
Further details
Auto DevOps failing on the first try, and then being disabled, shouldn't result in a project looking like it "failed" in any way. The status should go away on subsequent commits, as pipeline statuses are tied to commits. But it's still an inconvenient state.
Proposal
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
(If no way to measure success, link to an issue that will implement a way to measure this)
