Description

The following does not compile properly (--container-max is set to 1200px):

}
```

@media (min-width: 1200px) {
...
}
```

Result:
```
@media (min-width: var(--container-max)) {
...
}
```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the provided @media example, where --container-max is set to 1200px. Trace the handling of variables inside the media condition and verify that the output changes from var(--container-max) to 1200px. Done means the example compiles to the expected media query without regressing related variable handling.
