Description
It is not possible to use variables within the docker USER statement. The variable will be interpreted as value.
Example: https://gitlab.com/nwrkbiz/cpp-design-patterns/-/tree/b81d6fdd2fcac393b491e8725387c99cf822b291/.devcontainer

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using the linked cpp-design-patterns .devcontainer Dockerfile, focusing on its USER statement with variables. Trace how envbuilder processes that statement and verify that the variable is resolved as intended rather than treated as a literal value.
