Walkthrough
This PR updates dependency management in the Kafka backend plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to explicit version numbers for Backstage internal dependencies. Four core Backstage packages are pinned to specific versions: backend-common (0.25.0), backend-plugin-api (1.6.1), catalog-model (0.1.1), and config (0.1.1). Additionally, the lodash dependency is upgraded from version 4.17.21 to 4.17.23, which likely addresses known security vulnerabilities. This change indicates a shift from monorepo workspace dependency management to explicit versioning, providing better control over releases and dependency resolution.

Correctness: lodash ^4.17.23 does not exist (latest is 4.17.21). This will cause npm install to fail. Change to ^4.17.21.

Problem: The lodash dependency is set to version ^4.17.23, which does not exist in the npm registry. The latest stable version of lodash is 4.17.21.
Fix Instructions:
1. Change the lodash version from "^4.17.23" to "^4.17.21" in the dependencies section
2. Run `npm install` or `yarn install` to update the lockfile
3. Verify the installation completes successfully
4. Consider running `npm audit` or `yarn audit` to check for any remaining security vulnerabilities

Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. While the intent is good, the automated changes have incorrectly replaced workspace:^ versioning for @backstage packages with pinned versions. This is problematic in a monorepo setup and could lead to build failures or dependency conflicts. I've recommended reverting these specific changes and applying the updates at the monorepo root instead. Additionally, the PR notes that yarn.lock was not updated, which will need to be done manually after correcting the dependency versions.

Automated dependency updates have incorrectly replaced workspace:^ with pinned versions for these internal @backstage packages. In a monorepo using Yarn workspaces, this is incorrect and can lead to multiple versions of the same package being installed, causing inconsistencies and potential build failures.
The correct approach is to update the versions of these packages in the root package.json of the monorepo. This ensures that all packages in the workspace use the same, updated version. Please revert these lines to use workspace:^ and perform the version upgrades at the repository root.

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.
