Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix security vulnerabilities by pinning several @backstage dependencies to specific versions. However, this approach is incorrect for a monorepo using workspaces, as it replaces workspace:^ with fixed versions. This will likely break the build or cause runtime issues by fetching packages from the registry instead of using local sources, and in some cases, it even downgrades packages. The changes should be reverted, and the vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating transitive dependencies or using resolutions in the root package.json.

Replacing workspace:^ with pinned versions is incorrect for a monorepo using workspaces. This change will cause these dependencies to be fetched from the npm registry instead of using the local source from the workspace, which can lead to version mismatches and breakages. The downgrades for @backstage/catalog-client (from 1.4.3 to 0.2.0) and @backstage/catalog-model (from 1.4.1 to 0.1.1) are especially problematic and will likely cause issues.
The correct way to resolve these vulnerabilities is to keep the workspace:^ specifier and address the underlying vulnerable packages. This can typically be done by:
- Running
yarn installat the root to update transitive dependencies. - Using the
resolutionsfield in the rootpackage.jsonto force a non-vulnerable version of the transitive dependencies (rollup,tar,eslint).
The warning in the PR description 'Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging' further indicates that this automated change is incorrect.

WalkthroughThis PR updates the dependency management strategy for the tech-insights-backend plugin by transitioning four core Backstage dependencies from workspace protocol references to explicit version pinning. The pinned dependencies include @backstage/backend-common (0.24.1), @backstage/backend-tasks (0.6.1), @backstage/catalog-client (0.2.0), and @backstage/catalog-model (0.1.1). This selective pinning approach maintains workspace protocol for other dependencies while ensuring consistent resolution of these critical core packages. The change likely supports independent package publishing or improves dependency stability across different deployment environments. Changes

Snyk has created this PR to fix 4 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/tech-insights-backend/package.jsonNote for zero-installs users
If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the
.yarn/cache/directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to runyarnto update the contents of the./yarn/cachedirectory.If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.
Vulnerabilities that will be fixed with an upgrade:
