Answer 1

The last step in your script block is exit 1 . Gitlab CI will fail any job that has an exit code > 0.

The commit-message-validator job doesn't currently do any checks, it simply calls echo 3 times. If you want it to check for fix, feat, major, minor you will need to do write some logic in the script block to do so.
