What causes javascript error 'Response is not defined' for Synapse Analytics deployment command validate, task 'Synapse workspace deployment@2'

Ask: I would really appreciate some help with a build failure in ADO build pipeline. We haven't changed the underlying code base, and the node.js version is the same as the last successful build.

This ADO build yaml snippet installs node.js and then calls the 'Synapse workspace deployment@2' command validate.

Here is an excerpt from the build log:
