Code Review
The pull request incorrectly replaces the workspace:^ protocol with fixed versions for several @backstage dependencies in plugins/periskop/package.json. This breaks the monorepo's internal dependency linking and, in cases like @backstage/catalog-model and @backstage/theme, downgrades the packages to significantly older versions. Transitive vulnerabilities (like those in ajv or qs) should be addressed by updating the root yarn.lock or the specific packages that declare them as direct dependencies, rather than pinning versions in individual plugins. Additionally, the PR failed to update the lockfile, leaving it in an inconsistent state.

Replacing workspace:^ with a fixed version breaks the monorepo's internal linking. Furthermore, version 0.1.1 is a significant downgrade from the current workspace version 1.4.1. Transitive vulnerabilities should be resolved by updating the root lockfile or the package that directly declares the dependency.

Replacing the workspace protocol with a fixed version is discouraged in this monorepo as it bypasses local package resolution and breaks the dependency graph.

Replacing workspace:^ with 0.1.1 breaks workspace linking and downgrades the package from its current version (0.4.1).

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.
