WalkthroughThis pull request updates the dependency management strategy for the Kafka plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with explicit version numbers for three Backstage packages. The changes pin '@backstage/catalog-model' to version 0.1.1, '@backstage/core-plugin-api' to version 0.1.0, and '@backstage/plugin-catalog-react' to version 1.0.0. This modification transitions the plugin from using local workspace dependencies to published package versions, likely in preparation for plugin publication or to standardize dependency management across the project.

Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. However, the proposed changes involve significant downgrades of several @backstage packages, replacing workspace-local versions with much older published versions. This is highly likely to introduce breaking changes and application instability. A safer and more appropriate solution for this monorepo setup would be to use Yarn's resolutions feature in the root package.json to force the vulnerable transitive dependencies (ajv and qs) to non-vulnerable versions. Additionally, the PR description correctly notes that the yarn.lock file has not been updated, which is a critical step that must be completed to ensure dependency consistency.

These changes downgrade several @backstage packages to very old versions (e.g., @backstage/catalog-model from what is likely a much newer workspace version to 0.1.1). This is likely to cause breaking changes and runtime errors due to API incompatibilities. I've suggested reverting these changes.
While this might resolve the Snyk vulnerabilities in transitive dependencies, it's not the correct approach. A better way to resolve these vulnerabilities in a yarn workspace project is to use resolutions in the root package.json to force the vulnerable packages (ajv, qs) to a non-vulnerable version. For example:
"resolutions": {
"ajv": "^8.12.0",
"qs": "^6.5.3"
}After adding the resolutions, you'll need to run yarn install to update the yarn.lock file. This PR also notes that yarn.lock was not updated, which is another critical issue that needs to be addressed.

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.
