Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes are fundamentally incorrect for this monorepo setup. It replaces workspace:^ dependencies with pinned, and in most cases, severely outdated versions. This will break the internal package linking of the monorepo, likely causing application failures, and introduces a significant maintenance burden. I've left a comment detailing why this approach is problematic and suggest an alternative strategy using resolutions to address the vulnerabilities without disrupting the project structure.

These dependency changes are incorrect and will likely break the project. This PR replaces workspace-linked packages (workspace:^) with fixed, and mostly outdated, versions. For example, @backstage/catalog-model is downgraded from a workspace version equivalent to 1.4.1 to 0.1.1.
This change breaks the monorepo structure and can lead to:
- Incompatibilities and runtime errors due to version mismatches.
- Including multiple versions of the same package in the build.
- Losing the benefits of workspace-based development.
The correct way to fix transitive dependency vulnerabilities in a yarn workspace is to use the resolutions field in the root package.json to pin the vulnerable package to a safe version. The fact that Snyk failed to update the yarn.lock file is a strong indicator that these changes create an unsatisfiable dependency tree.
I recommend reverting these changes and addressing the Snyk vulnerabilities using resolutions.

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