Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, it has some critical issues that need to be addressed.
Most importantly, it incorrectly replaces workspace:^ dependency specifiers with fixed versions for internal Backstage packages. This will break the yarn workspace setup of your monorepo, causing these packages to be fetched from the public registry instead of being linked locally. This can lead to major inconsistencies and break local development.
Additionally, as noted in the pull request description, the yarn.lock file was not updated. This is a critical omission, as it means the dependency changes are not actually locked in, and builds will not be reproducible.
Given these issues, I recommend closing this pull request and performing the dependency updates manually. This will allow you to correctly update dependencies across the entire monorepo while respecting the workspace setup, and ensure the yarn.lock file is properly updated. You can use a tool like yarn upgrade-interactive to help with this process.

These changes incorrectly replace the workspace:^ protocol with fixed versions. This breaks the yarn workspace setup for this monorepo, causing packages to be fetched from the npm registry instead of being linked to the local packages. This can lead to inconsistent dependencies and break the local development workflow. These dependencies should continue to use workspace:^ to correctly reference other packages within this monorepo.

WalkthroughThis PR updates dependency management in the app-backend plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to explicit version pinning for several Backstage packages. Four core Backstage dependencies (@backstage/backend-common, @backstage/backend-plugin-api, @backstage/config, and @backstage/config-loader) are now locked to specific versions rather than using workspace:^ references. Additionally, the express package receives a minor version upgrade from 4.17.1 to 4.22.0. These changes improve build reproducibility and stability by eliminating workspace protocol dependencies, while potentially incorporating security patches and bug fixes from the updated express version.

Snyk has created this PR to fix 3 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/app-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.
