Steps To Reproduce

1. In GitLab CI
2. With this config:

yaml-language-server: $schema=https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/raw/v15.0.5-ee/app/assets/javascripts/editor/schema/ci.json

default:
image: node:20

Cache modules using lock file

cache:
key:
files:
- package-lock.json
paths:
- .npm/

Cancel previous runs of the same pipeline on the same branch.

interruptible: true
before_script:
- |-
set -eux

  npm config set strict-ssl false

  _base_url='https://binarios.intranet.bb.com.br/artifactory'
  _npm_config="$(npm config get userconfig)"

  declare -A config=(
      ["registry"]="api/npm/npm/"
      ["appd_cdn_base_url"]="generic-appdynamics-node-remote/"
      ["canvas_binary_host_mirror"]="generic-node-canvas-remote"
      ["dist-url"]="generic-nodejsdist-remote"
      ["disturl"]="generic-nodejsdist-remote"
      ["phantomjs_cdnurl"]="generic-bb-binarios-ptn-local/publico/phantomjs"
      ["puppeteer_download_host"]="generic-puppeteer-remote"
      ["puppeteer_download_base_url"]="puppeteer"
      ["sass_binary_site"]="generic-node-sass-remote"
      ["sharp_binary_host"]="generic-sharp-remote"
      ["sharp_libvips_binary_host"]="generic-sharp-libvips-remote"
  )

  for key in "${!config[@]}"; do
      printf '%s = "%s"\n' "${key}" "${_base_url}/${config[$key]}" >>"$_npm_config"
  done

  printf '%s:_authToken=%s' \
    "$(npm config get registry | sed -e 's/^https://')" \
    "${NPM_AUTH_TOKEN:?Missing npm auth token}" \
    >>"$_npm_config"

  # Login to binarios registry with legacy auth type
  echo "${NPM_AUTH_TOKEN}" | npm login --registry=https://binarios.intranet.bb.com.br/artifactory/api/npm/npm/ --auth-type legacy --always-auth

  if ! npm ci --cache .npm --prefer-offline; then
    cat /root/.npm/_logs/*.log
    exit 1

By any chance environment variable substitution is replacing the values incorrectly ? also which version of npm is this ?
