This change from workspace:^ to a pinned version 0.1.1 is incorrect for a monorepo using Yarn workspaces.

  • Breaks workspace linking: It replaces a workspace-protocol dependency with a pinned version, which will likely introduce duplicate dependencies.
  • Version downgrade: The version of @backstage/types in the workspace is 1.1.0, so changing to 0.1.1 is a downgrade.
  • Dependency conflicts: This package also depends on @backstage/plugin-permission-common, which in turn depends on @backstage/types at workspace:^. This change would result in two different versions of @backstage/types being used, which can cause subtle runtime issues and type incompatibilities.

The stated goal is to fix a webpack vulnerability, but this change to @backstage/types does not seem to address the root cause.

I recommend reverting this change and instead investigating the correct way to upgrade the vulnerable dependency.
