WalkthroughThis PR updates the dependency management strategy for the playlist-backend plugin by converting five Backstage package dependencies from workspace protocol references to explicit version numbers. The affected packages include backend-common (0.24.1), catalog-client (0.2.0), config (0.1.1), plugin-auth-node (0.1.0), and plugin-permission-node (0.1.0). This change pins these core dependencies to specific versions, which is typically done to prepare for package publication or to ensure consistent versioning across different deployment environments. Other dependencies in the package continue to use the workspace protocol, indicating a selective approach to version pinning for critical Backstage infrastructure packages. Changes

Code Review
This pull request from Snyk aims to resolve 6 security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the approach taken is incorrect for this Backstage monorepo and is highly likely to break the application. The changes replace workspace:^ dependencies with pinned versions from the public registry, many of which are significant downgrades from the versions currently used in the workspace (e.g., @backstage/catalog-client is downgraded from 1.4.3 to 0.2.0). This will cause version conflicts and likely lead to build failures or runtime errors. The correct approach is to update the underlying dependencies within the monorepo packages to resolve the vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the PR description correctly warns that yarn.lock was not updated, which is a critical step that must be performed manually. Due to the high risk of breaking changes, I recommend rejecting this PR and addressing the vulnerabilities by updating the packages within the workspace.

These dependency changes are incorrect for a Backstage monorepo and will likely break the application.
-
Major Version Downgrades: Several packages are being downgraded to much older major versions. For example:
@backstage/catalog-clientis downgraded from workspace version1.4.3to0.2.0.@backstage/configis downgraded from1.0.8to0.1.1.@backstage/plugin-auth-nodeis downgraded from0.2.17-next.0to0.1.0.@backstage/plugin-permission-nodeis downgraded from0.7.11-next.0to0.1.0.
These downgrades will almost certainly introduce breaking API changes and cause incompatibilities with other packages in the monorepo.
-
Inconsistent Dependencies: This package will use old, pinned versions while other packages in the monorepo use newer versions from the workspace, leading to version conflicts.
The correct way to fix this is to update the dependencies within the monorepo packages themselves. I recommend reverting these changes.

Snyk has created this PR to fix 6 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/playlist-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.
