stitches does not pull through filter variables defined in theme
Bug report
Describe the bug
When attempting to define a custom variable for a filter using themes, the css variable is created correctly but you cannot use the stitches variable in your code. It does not work
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior, please provide code snippets or a repository:
import { createStitches } from "@stitches/react";
export const { theme, styled, createTheme } = createStitches({
colors: {
primaryText: "#000",
background: "#fff"
},
theme: {
filters: {
datePickerCalendarIconFilter: "invert(0)"
}
}
});
export const darkTheme = createTheme({
colors: {
primaryText: "#fff",
hiContrast: "hsl(206,2%,93%)",
gray100: "hsl(206,8%,12%)",
background: "$gray100"
},
filters: {
datePickerCalendarIconFilter: "invert(1)"
}
});
const Input = styled("input", {
border: "1px solid lightgray",
color: "$hiContrast",
"&&::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator": {
filter: "$datePickerCalendarIconFilter"
}
});

Expected behavior
The calendar icon in the input box should be white when using the dark theme and black when using the light theme. The snippet below provides the expected behaviour using css variables:
const Input = styled("input", {
border: "1px solid lightgray",
color: "$hiContrast",
"&&::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator": {
filter: "var(--filters-datePickerCalendarIconFilter)"
}
});
