Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix security vulnerabilities by downgrading dependencies. However, the proposed changes in plugins/newrelic-dashboard/package.json are incorrect and will likely break the application. The PR replaces workspace-local dependencies (workspace:^) with pinned, very old versions of @backstage/core-components and @backstage/core-plugin-api. This is a critical issue that goes against the project's monorepo structure and will cause dependency conflicts and build failures. The fact that Snyk failed to update the yarn.lock file, as noted in the PR description, is another strong indicator that these changes are invalid. The changes should be reverted, and the vulnerabilities should be addressed through a proper dependency update strategy, likely by updating packages rather than downgrading them.

These changes introduce a significant downgrade of core Backstage dependencies and remove the workspace:^ protocol. This will almost certainly break the application and goes against the monorepo's dependency management strategy.
- Version Downgrade:
@backstage/core-componentsis downgraded from a version compatible with0.13.4-next.0to0.8.6. Similarly,@backstage/core-plugin-apiis downgraded from1.5.3to0.1.0. Such large downgrades will lead to API incompatibilities and build failures. - Workspace Protocol: In a Yarn workspace-based monorepo, internal packages should reference each other using
workspace:^. This ensures that the versions are consistent across the entire project. Removing this will lead to dependency resolution issues and potentially multiple versions of the same package being installed.
These changes should be reverted. The underlying security vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating dependencies, not by this drastic downgrade.

WalkthroughThis PR modifies the dependency management strategy for the newrelic-dashboard plugin by pinning two Backstage core packages to specific versions instead of using the workspace protocol. The Changes

plugins/newrelic-dashboard/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.
