How does the DevOps Pipeline handle Skipped Steps?

My client is using an Azure Pipeline that conditionally skips steps if they are not needed. So in a particular execution of this pipeline, some of the steps do not get run at all. However, when I see this execution from ServiceNow's Pipeline Execution record, it shows this step as a "fail" state. My findings seem to show that ServiceNow considers a Step a failure if it doesn't return a Success, but I'm struggling to find a concrete confirmation on that. Is there any way to recognize these steps as "Skipped" or "Complete" instead of "Fail" without having to dig under the hood and change the way that ServiceNow accepts this information? I would like to give a good recommendation on a path forward, but it feels like the only path forward is to change the customer's pipeline to not behave this way.
