Secret variables in `.npmrc` are not loaded, build fails

My .npmrc 
@awesome.me:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/
@fortawesome:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/
//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken=${FONTAWESOME_AUTH_TOKEN}
@awesome.me:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/
@fortawesome:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/
//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken=${FONTAWESOME_AUTH_TOKEN}
Notice it has the FONTAWESOME_AUTH_TOKEN secret So I added the secret via the Cloudflare workers' website/UI (see attached image) But the deployment is failing. See build logs below:

“Build” allows the worker read env variables (which can be secret environment variables) at build time, the other is the same for runtime After setting a secret env variable at build time, the worker managed to read the variable in npmrc and install the private packages
