Cannot build due to app not reading env vars

Hello, i restrucutred my project because i needed to separate some logic to some packages. I got to the point where the packages are build, but the Astro app fails with the following error Login required! which basically means that the ASTRO_DB_APP_TOKEN env var is missing. I've checked the build container and echoing the env vars seems OK, they both are printed out and set. If i attempt to build the application in the container with the env vars, everything seems fine (e.g. sudo ASTRO_DB_REMOTE_URL=db/dev.db ASTRO_DB_APP_TOKEN="" pnpm astro build --remote). Do i have something wrong? The env var is supposed to be secret (see screenshot) and i have it in the zerops.yaml from runtime.

In the build phase, runtime environment variables are available with RUNTIME_ prefix. $RUNTIME_ASTRO_DB_APP_TOKEN

          envVariables:
              ASTRO_DB_REMOTE_URL: ${RUNTIME_ASTRO_DB_REMOTE_URL}
              ASTRO_DB_APP_TOKEN: ${RUNTIME_ASTRO_DB_APP_TOKEN}
          envVariables:
              ASTRO_DB_REMOTE_URL: ${RUNTIME_ASTRO_DB_REMOTE_URL}
              ASTRO_DB_APP_TOKEN: ${RUNTIME_ASTRO_DB_APP_TOKEN}
This should take care of it, no? it always worked for me like that

Sorry I missed that.In your zerops.yml file. I'll see if there's a problem. Give me a minute. It works as expected. Aaaa I see you are using sudo, try sudo -E because sudo doesn't propagate environment variables.

Ah yeah thats my bad, however if i push the project the build fails with the login required error, in the build container i just wanted to confirm that the app builds fine when it is done manually (which it does), for example now a pipeline 1k0B2uo9T4Kv7OSYfzLhvw failed. Well, maybe its the ASTRO_DB_REMOTE_URL env var, when the app does not find it, it also wants me to login oh for sure it's the ASTRO_DB_REMOTE_URL not the other one, sorry for that
