Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• plugins/permission-node/package.json

Note 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 run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning

Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

[graphite-app]

The dependency management approach in this PR creates inconsistency by changing only some @backstage dependencies from workspace:^ to specific versions while leaving others with workspace references. This mixed approach can cause dependency resolution issues in monorepo setups.

For proper dependency management, either:

1. Keep all @backstage dependencies as workspace:^ references (preferred for monorepo development)
2. Change all to specific versions

The current mixed approach may lead to version conflicts or unexpected behavior when resolving dependencies. Consider standardizing the approach across all @backstage dependencies in this file.
