Kustomize is messing up special characters in YAML

[ExtremeSwat]

🔥 Bug Description

The final config map (in the kustomize file that gets generated in the end) has issues, for example, I'm referencing a property called TenantData which contains various passwords and stuff per tenant

- TenantData={"19d74b3c-2955-4667-9bc5-15d67212469e":{&quot
I have attempted tackling this issue multiple ways, but none work....

I have tried with this:
project.WithEnvironment("TenantData", tenantDataEnv);

By directly attaching the serialized dictionary, or individually per tenant
project.WithEnvironment($"TenantData__{key}__Sql__ConnectionString", tenantDictionary[key].Sql.ConnectionString);

No matter what I do, it will always escape special characters like >, <, &, ", etc
