GitLab Senior Backend Engineer - Verify (CI) here - Thanks for reaching out! I'll try to explain current situation of these issues.
1. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/198570
We know that this bug with DAG/needs is quite annoying. That's why we've been actively discussing about this bug in other issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213080
Can you please take a look at the discussions there?
2. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/39534
Unfortunately we had no choice but to give an option to fix this behavior, instead of fixing it. That's because, if we fixed this bug immediately, it would probably break existing pipelines.
That's why we allowed users to fix this behavior themselves (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/24605).
Hope this is helpful and please feel free to contact us if you have any questions/feedbacks. Thanks!
