Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix two security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies in plugins/todo-backend/package.json. While the intention is good, the proposed changes are problematic for this monorepo setup. Specifically, it replaces workspace-local dependencies (workspace:^) with pinned versions from the public registry. This is incorrect and will likely break the build and local development environment. I've left a critical comment explaining the issue and suggesting the correct approach to fix the vulnerabilities in a yarn workspace context. The change to the express package is likely correct, but the other changes should be reverted and the fix applied manually.

This automated change incorrectly replaces workspace:^ dependencies with pinned, published versions. In a Yarn workspace monorepo, this will likely break local development and could lead to having multiple versions of the same Backstage package in the dependency tree. These changes should be rejected.
The vulnerabilities should be addressed manually:
- Identify the package in the workspace that has the vulnerable dependency (e.g., for the
ajvvulnerability, it's likely@backstage/catalog-model). - Update the vulnerable dependency in that package's
package.json. - Run
yarn installto update theyarn.lockfile.
This will correctly resolve the vulnerability without breaking the workspace setup.
WalkthroughThis PR updates dependency management in the todo-backend plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to explicit version pinning for Backstage packages. The changes affect six dependencies: five Backstage-related packages are now locked to specific versions (@backstage/backend-common@0.24.1, @backstage/backend-openapi-utils@0.0.1, @backstage/catalog-client@0.2.0, @backstage/catalog-model@0.1.1, and @backstage/plugin-catalog-node@1.0.0), and the Express framework is upgraded from version 4.17.1 to 4.22.0. This version pinning approach provides more predictable builds and likely addresses security vulnerabilities present in the older Express version. Changes

Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/todo-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.
