Code Review
This pull request from Snyk aims to fix several security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. While the intention is good, the automated changes have introduced a critical issue. The dependencies @backstage/core-components and @backstage/core-plugin-api have been incorrectly downgraded from using local workspace versions (workspace:^) to a very old, hardcoded version (0.1.0). This is a significant regression that will likely break the application and must be reverted. The update for lodash appears to be correct.
Furthermore, as noted in the pull request description, the yarn.lock file has not been updated. After correcting the dependency versions, you must run yarn install to generate the updated lockfile and commit it before this PR can be merged.

These dependencies have been changed from workspace:^ to a hardcoded, very old version (0.1.0). This is a major regression that will likely break the build and cause runtime issues. In a monorepo using Yarn workspaces, workspace:^ ensures that the package uses the current version of the dependency from within the same repository, which is crucial for consistency and development. Pinning to an old, published version defeats this purpose and introduces outdated code.
This change should be reverted to use the workspace version. The underlying security vulnerability that triggered this change should be investigated and resolved by updating the source package within the workspace if needed, not by pinning to an old version.

WalkthroughThis PR updates dependency management in the techdocs-react plugin package. The changes transition two Backstage core dependencies from workspace protocol references to a specific published version (0.1.0), indicating a move away from local workspace dependencies to versioned packages. Additionally, the lodash library is upgraded from version 4.17.21 to 4.17.23, which likely includes security patches and bug fixes. These updates ensure the plugin uses stable, published versions of its dependencies rather than workspace-local references. Changes

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