[Snyk] Security upgrade @backstage/theme from 0.0.0-use.local to 0.1.1

[q1blue]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 2 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• plugins/bazaar/package.json

Note 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 run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning

Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

Walkthrough

This PR modifies the dependency management for the bazaar plugin by changing how the Backstage theme package is referenced. The update replaces the workspace protocol reference with a pinned version number, moving from dynamic workspace resolution to a fixed version dependency. This change affects how the package resolves dependencies in monorepo environments, potentially addressing version stability requirements or compatibility concerns with the theme package.

Changes

File(s)	Summary
plugins/bazaar/package.json	Changed @backstage/theme dependency from workspace protocol (workspace:^) to fixed version 0.1.1, pinning the theme package to a specific version instead of using local workspace resolution.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating the @backstage/theme dependency. However, the proposed change of pinning @backstage/theme to version 0.1.1 in plugins/bazaar/package.json is problematic for this monorepo structure. It replaces a workspace dependency with a fixed version, which is a significant downgrade from the current workspace version (0.4.1) and risks introducing dependency conflicts, runtime errors, and UI inconsistencies. Furthermore, the PR description notes that yarn.lock failed to update, which is another strong indicator that this change is not safe to merge as-is. I've added a critical review comment with a suggestion to revert this change and instead address the underlying vulnerabilities within the @backstage/theme package itself to maintain the integrity of the monorepo's workspace setup.

[gemini-code-assist]

This change pins the @backstage/theme dependency to version 0.1.1, replacing the workspace:^ reference. This is a significant and potentially breaking change in a monorepo setup.

By pinning to a specific version, this package will no longer use the version of @backstage/theme from the local workspace. The version of @backstage/theme within this monorepo is 0.4.1 (as seen in packages/theme/package.json), so this change effectively downgrades the theme package to a much older version (0.1.1).

This can lead to several major issues:

• Dependency Duplication: You may end up with two different versions of @backstage/theme in your final bundle, increasing its size and complexity.
• Runtime Errors: If @backstage/theme uses React Context or other singletons, having multiple versions will likely lead to runtime errors.
• Inconsistent UI: The bazaar plugin will use an older theme, potentially looking different from the rest of the application.
• Maintenance Overhead: It breaks the linkage of workspace packages, which is a core benefit of using a monorepo.

While the intent is to fix a security vulnerability, this approach is problematic. The correct way to fix this would be to address the vulnerability within the @backstage/theme package itself, for example by updating its transitive dependencies. I recommend reverting this change and investigating the vulnerability within the theme package.

Suggested change

	"@backstage/theme": "0.1.1",
	"@backstage/theme": "workspace:^",
