Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix security vulnerabilities by pinning @backstage/core-components and @backstage/theme to very old versions. This is a significant and dangerous downgrade that will likely break the todo plugin due to API incompatibilities. It also goes against the monorepo's workspace architecture which aims to keep dependency versions consistent across packages.
Furthermore, the PR description explicitly warns that the yarn.lock file has not been updated, making this PR incomplete and potentially causing inconsistent dependency resolution.
I have added a critical review comment suggesting to revert these changes. The vulnerabilities should be addressed by upgrading dependencies or using resolutions in the root package.json to target the specific vulnerable transitive packages, rather than downgrading major components.

This change introduces a significant downgrade of @backstage/core-components (from a 0.13.x version to 0.8.6) and @backstage/theme (from 0.4.x to 0.1.1). Such a major downgrade is highly likely to introduce breaking changes and cause the plugin to fail at runtime due to API incompatibilities with other @backstage packages that rely on newer versions.
This approach of pinning to old versions also undermines the monorepo's workspace setup, which is designed to ensure version consistency across packages. The correct way to fix these vulnerabilities would be to upgrade the transitive dependencies that are vulnerable, possibly by using resolutions in the root package.json if a direct dependency upgrade is not feasible.
Given the high risk of breakage, this change should be reverted.

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.
