Description
So I am running into a weird issue with my devcontainer environment. I am building without the cache inside a Vscode IDE and the image build seems to get to the very last step and then throws this warning and does not ever resolve the build into the devcontainer environment.
```bash
1 warning found (use docker --debug to expand):
- InvalidDefaultArgInFrom: Default value for ARG $BASE_IMAGE results in empty or invalid base image name (line 2)
[303440 ms] Start: Run: docker events --format {{json .}} --filter event=start
[303442 ms] Start: Starting container
```
I personally do not have a `BASE_IMAGE` Argument present in my docker image, so I am not understanding why my build would be failing to propagate due to a variable I don't use?
For debugging sake I even tried adding these lines and still get the error from above...
```dockerfile
ARG BASE_IMAGE=mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/base:ubuntu-24.04
FROM ${BASE_IMAGE} AS base
```
Why would I be getting this error?
