AFAIK the pipeline will be marked failed, but the job can be retried
manually. To avoid this you can gracefully shutdown the runner, I
thought I had shared this somewhere:
https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/init.html#overriding-the-default-service-files

I'm using this and verified that it waits until the current build
finishes. The downside is that it could take up to ~30 minutes if it
has just started a doc build. In that case it may be easier to cancel
the job online and reschedule it.
