It fails because you're missing part of the required configuration on magento side. You have to run:

bin/magento app:config:dump scopes themes

This is going to add additional configuration to your app/etc/config.php which is required for static content deployment to work in a pipeline.

You may want to add this to app/etc/config.php too:

'system' => [
    'default' => [
        'dev' => [
            'js' => [
                'merge_files' => '1',
                'minify_files' => '1'
            ],
            'css' => [
                'merge_files' => '1',
                'minify_files' => '1'
            ],
            'template' => [
                'minify_html' => '1'
            ]
        ]
    ]
