WalkthroughThis pull request updates the dependency management strategy for the techdocs-backend plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with explicit version numbers. Four Backstage plugin dependencies are pinned to specific versions: @backstage/plugin-catalog-common (0.1.0), @backstage/plugin-search-backend-module-techdocs (0.2.0), @backstage/plugin-search-common (0.3.1), and @backstage/plugin-techdocs-node (1.13.11). This change transitions from monorepo workspace resolution to fixed version dependencies, likely in preparation for independent package publication or to ensure consistent version stability across deployments.

Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix several vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes are problematic. It replaces workspace:^ dependencies with pinned versions, which is not ideal for a monorepo. More critically, it downgrades @backstage/plugin-catalog-common and @backstage/plugin-search-common to much older major versions, which will almost certainly break the application. The PR description also notes a failure to update yarn.lock, reinforcing that these changes are incorrect. I recommend rejecting these changes and manually investigating the vulnerabilities to apply the correct updates within the monorepo structure.

These dependency changes are incorrect and will likely break the application.
- Incorrect Version Pinning: This PR replaces
workspace:^with pinned versions. In a Yarn workspace monorepo, this is generally incorrect as it breaks the linkage between local packages. - Major Downgrades: The versions for
@backstage/plugin-catalog-common(1.0.15in workspace ->0.1.0) and@backstage/plugin-search-common(1.2.5in workspace ->0.3.1) are significant downgrades. This will likely lead to build failures or runtime errors due to API incompatibilities. - Tooling Failure: The PR description explicitly states
Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.. This is a strong indicator that the dependency resolution failed and the suggested versions are not compatible.
Instead of applying these changes, the vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating the source packages within the monorepo if necessary, and then running yarn to update the lockfile. I suggest reverting these changes.

Snyk has created this PR to fix 4 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/techdocs-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.
