Kubernetes manifests with ${VAR} placeholders are silently skipped

[sofianlak]

Describe the issue
When using Checkov to scan Kubernetes manifests that include environment-style placeholders like ${K8S_APP_NAME} in critical fields (e.g. metadata.name, labels, etc.), the files are silently skipped during scanning. No warning is shown, and the kubernetes framework reports 0 resources.

This is misleading and causes security checks to be completely bypassed without notice.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

# file: base/deploy.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: ${K8S_APP_NAME}-deployment
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: ${K8S_APP_NAME}
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: ${K8S_APP_NAME}
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: ${K8S_APP_NAME}
          image: my/image:latest

checkov --file base/deploy.yml --framework kubernetes

Actual behavior
The output shows only:
[ kubernetes framework ]: 100%|████████████████████|[1/1], Current File Scanned=base/deploy.yml

But there is no kubernetes scan results block, and no indication that the resource was skipped due to invalid syntax.

Version:

• Checkov Version 3.2.440

Additional context

• If we manually replace ${K8S_APP_NAME} with a hardcoded value like my-app, the checks run and the scan results are shown correctly.
• This behavior is confusing because the scan appears to run successfully but silently skips resources.
