Gitlab custom executor exit status

GitLab CI/CD
1

I am trying to set up autoscaling using AWS fargate following this guide here.

It seems to work fine, but the is something strange with how the machine exits.
for instance in step 7 here Autoscaling GitLab CI on AWS Fargate | GitLab, change the script to just exit 1

test:
  script:
    - exit 1

I would expect that the pipeline exits with error code 1, which i think would be classified as a failed test.

Running with gitlab-runner 15.8.1

Here is a snippet from my pipeline

$ exit 1
