Description
When parsing curly brackets, even as a string ("${env_var}"), it decodes the curly brackets to it's ASCII code. This is probably a bug of the underlying yaml library (yaml-rust).
I solved it by not using curly brackets.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported parsing of the string "${env_var}" and investigate the YAML parsing path, including the yaml-rust dependency mentioned in the issue. Done means curly brackets inside a string remain literal rather than being decoded to an ASCII code.
