WalkthroughThis pull request updates the dependency management strategy for the search-backend-module-techdocs plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with explicit version numbers for four Backstage packages. The changes pin @backstage/backend-common to 0.24.1, @backstage/plugin-catalog-common to 0.1.0, @backstage/plugin-search-common to 0.3.1, and @backstage/plugin-techdocs-node to 1.13.11. This modification moves away from workspace-relative versioning to fixed version specifications, which typically indicates preparation for package publication or ensures stricter dependency compatibility control.

Code Review
This automated Snyk pull request attempts to fix four vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the changes are critically flawed: several key packages are downgraded to outdated major versions, which will likely break the application. Furthermore, the yarn.lock file is not updated, compromising build reproducibility and the effectiveness of the patch. I recommend rejecting this PR and addressing the vulnerabilities manually.

This automated dependency update has several critical issues and should be reverted.
-
Major dependency downgrades: This change downgrades several
@backstagepackages to much older major versions, which will almost certainly introduce breaking changes and regressions. For example:@backstage/plugin-catalog-commonis downgraded from a version compatible with1.0.15to0.1.0.@backstage/plugin-search-commonis downgraded from a version compatible with1.2.5to0.3.1.
These downgrades suggest that the Snyk tool may have had trouble resolving the correct dependency versions within the yarn workspace (
workspace:^). -
yarn.locknot updated: The PR description states thatyarn.lockwas not updated. This is a critical problem as it means the dependency tree is not locked, and builds will not be reproducible. The vulnerabilities might not even be fixed without the lock file update.
It is strongly recommended to address the vulnerabilities manually by finding appropriate versions that do not introduce breaking changes, likely by updating the packages within the monorepo to newer, non-vulnerable versions and continuing to use workspace:^.

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