Are environment variables available at build or only runtime?

My SvelteKit builds fail when I use

import { SECRET } from '$env/static/private'

import { SECRET } from '$env/static/private'

or the public equivalent (

$env/static/public

$env/static/public

) with an error such as:

RollupError: "SECRET" is not exported by "virtual:$env/static/private"

RollupError: "SECRET" is not exported by "virtual:$env/static/private"

However accessing environment variables via

import { env } from '$env/dynamic/private';

import { env } from '$env/dynamic/private';

works.

Is it correct to assume environment variables created on Cloudflare Pages are only available at runtime?
