I have a repo that runs very long integration tests, but they don't need to run when I am only changing .md files/docs.

Right now, I can write a wrapper script that checks paths and only runs the tests if the files match, but the job state is always green/passing (there's no indication if the tests ran or if the script decided they didn't need to run - other than elapsed time). Ideally I could mark it as skipped if the tests didn't run.

It would be really nice if jobs could set the job state via an exit/result code.

gitlab feature that allows it as an example:

This would be a handy feature for monorepos also.
