WalkthroughThis PR updates dependency versions in the techdocs-node plugin package.json file. The changes include upgrading the @azure/identity package from version 3.2.1 to 3.4.1, and converting three Backstage internal dependencies from workspace protocol references to fixed published versions: @backstage/backend-common (0.25.0), @backstage/integration (0.1.0), and @backstage/plugin-search-common (0.3.1). This transition from workspace dependencies to specific version numbers suggests preparation for a package release or establishing explicit version compatibility requirements for the techdocs-node plugin.

Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix several vulnerabilities by updating dependencies. While the intent is good, the proposed changes are not suitable for this monorepo structure and could introduce critical breakages.
The main issues are:
- Incorrect Dependency Pinning: The changes replace
workspace:^with fixed versions for internal@backstage/*packages. This breaks the yarn workspace linking, which is fundamental to this monorepo. For example,@backstage/integrationis being downgraded from version1.5.1to0.1.0, which will almost certainly break the application. - Incomplete Update: As noted in the PR description, the
yarn.lockfile has not been updated. This must be done manually by runningyarnafter dependency changes.
I've added specific comments suggesting to revert the changes to the @backstage/* packages. It is strongly recommended to close this automated PR and perform the dependency upgrades manually. You can use a tool like yarn upgrade-interactive to identify and update the vulnerable packages correctly, then run yarn to regenerate the lockfile. This will ensure the monorepo integrity is maintained while fixing the security vulnerabilities.

Changing this dependency from workspace:^ to a fixed version 0.25.0 breaks the monorepo's workspace linking. This package will no longer resolve to the local @backstage/backend-common package. The version 0.25.0 is also a significant jump from the local version 0.19.2-next.0 found in packages/backend-common/package.json, which could introduce breaking changes.
To fix the underlying vulnerability, it's better to keep the workspace:^ protocol and update the transitive dependencies if needed, or update the version of @backstage/backend-common across the monorepo. Snyk's automated change is likely incorrect for this monorepo setup.

This change from workspace:^ to 0.1.0 is highly problematic. It breaks the workspace linking to the local @backstage/integration package. Furthermore, it's a major downgrade from the local version 1.5.1 (from packages/integration/package.json). This will almost certainly cause breakages.
This change should be reverted. The correct way to fix the vulnerability is to address it within the @backstage/integration package or its dependencies, while maintaining the workspace:^ reference.

Similar to the other @backstage/* packages, changing this from workspace:^ to a fixed version 0.3.1 is incorrect for this monorepo setup. It breaks the workspace linking. Please revert this to use the workspace:^ protocol to ensure it resolves to the local package.

While updating @azure/identity is good for fixing the vulnerability, please note that other packages in the monorepo, like @backstage/integration in packages/integration/package.json, still use version ^3.2.1. For consistency and to avoid bundling multiple versions of the same package, it would be best to update this dependency across the entire repository.

plugins/techdocs-node/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.
