Description

DO NOT MERGE until https://circleci.atlassian.net/browse/PIPE-5329 and https://circleci.atlassian.net/browse/PIPE-5119 are done

Reasons

We are extending flexible requires with a new status not_run, that defines a job as finished without starting (non-runnable blocked job)

Content Checklist

Please follow our style when contributing to CircleCI docs. Our style guide is here: https://circleci.com/docs/style/style-guide-overview.

Please take a moment to check through the following items when submitting your PR (this is just a guide so will not be relevant for all PRs):

  • Break up walls of text by adding paragraph breaks.
  • Consider if the content could benefit from more structure, such as lists or tables, to make it easier to consume.
  • Keep the title between 20 and 70 characters.
  • Consider whether the content would benefit from more subsections (h2-h6 headings) to make it easier to consume.
  • Check all headings h1-h6 are in sentence case (only first letter is capitalized).
  • Include relevant backlinks to other CircleCI docs/pages.

I didn't update "CircleCI server job status transitions" graph because this will only be available in the next server release. I can make a ticket to update this around the time of the next release so that we don't forget

@SashaLsnko SashaLsnko requested a review from a team November 24, 2025 16:46
- skipped status is returned as not_run in UI and API
- we don't create pipelines for skip-ci anymore

The only build PR check has been removed at the job level so that can be removed here.
Project not found/Abusive/Sanctioned transitions the job to failed status, not skipped. So those can be removed as well.


* The `test` job waits for the `build` job, and only runs if the `build` job is successful.
* The `cleanup` job waits for the `test` job, and runs regardless of whether the `test` job succeeds, fails, or is canceled.

I think it's more grammatically correct to say:
...job succeeds, fails, is canceled, or is not run.
