Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several vulnerabilities by changing dependency versions in packages/techdocs-cli-embedded-app/package.json. However, the proposed changes are fundamentally flawed. They replace workspace:^ specifiers with very old, pinned versions of @backstage packages. This constitutes a major version downgrade that will almost certainly break the application and disrupt the monorepo's local development workflow. The correct approach is to update dependencies to newer versions or use Yarn's resolutions feature to target the vulnerable transitive dependencies directly. Furthermore, as noted in the pull request description, the yarn.lock file has not been updated, which is a required step for any dependency change. This pull request should not be merged in its current state and the vulnerabilities should be addressed manually.

These dependency changes represent a significant downgrade and will likely break the application. The versions are being pinned to very old releases (e.g., 0.1.0 for @backstage/core-app-api when newer 1.x versions exist in the repository), and the workspace:^ protocol is being removed, which is essential for monorepo development.
This approach to fixing vulnerabilities is incorrect and harmful. Instead of downgrading, consider using Yarn's resolutions field in the root package.json to force newer, non-vulnerable versions of the transitive dependencies. For example:
"resolutions": {
"lodash": "^4.17.21",
"tar": "^6.1.11"
}These changes should be reverted, and a proper dependency resolution strategy should be applied manually.

WalkthroughThis pull request updates the dependency management strategy for the techdocs-cli-embedded-app package by replacing workspace protocol references with fixed version numbers for five Backstage packages. The changes pin @backstage/core-app-api and @backstage/core-components to version 0.1.0, @backstage/integration-react to 0.1.1, @backstage/plugin-techdocs to 0.1.1, and @backstage/plugin-techdocs-react to 0.1.0. This transition from local workspace dependencies to specific published npm package versions indicates preparation for standalone distribution or a move to lock dependencies at stable versions for improved version control and reproducibility.

Snyk has created this PR to fix 6 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
packages/techdocs-cli-embedded-app/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.
