Expected Behavior

The process of the v1 migration should cause no existent PipelineRun to fail. And PipelineRunStatus can be used in both Full or Minimal EmbeddedStatus and also in the process of switching the default value at #5833 .

Actual Behavior

It will fail validateChildObjectsInPipelineRunStatus as there are status.runs and status.taskruns left along with ChildReferences while the EmbeddedStatus has been changed from Full to Minimal. And thus the PipelineRun will not succeed and runs indefinitely while the taskRuns Succeeded.

NAME                  STARTED         DURATION   STATUS
test                  5 minutes ago   ---        Running

→ tkn tr list
NAME                                      STARTED         DURATION   STATUS
test-fetch-secure-data                    9 minutes ago   55s        Succeeded

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Have a PipelineRun that would populate status.runs or status.taskruns started with Full EmbeddedStatus
Switch the EmbeddedStatus from Full to Minimal while it's running
Similar failure could happen if we switch from Minimal to Full

The example pipelineRun is pasted below, but it could be any PipelineRun that stays longer than the time the EmbeddedStatus is switched.
