Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to resolve a security vulnerability by upgrading the @backstage/errors package. However, the proposed change of pinning the version to 0.1.1 instead of using workspace:^ is not appropriate for this monorepo structure. This change would cause the package to use a significantly outdated version of @backstage/errors (the current version in the repository is 1.2.1), breaking the internal linkage of the monorepo and potentially introducing bugs or inconsistencies. The correct approach is to maintain the workspace:^ reference and update the yarn.lock file at the repository's root to resolve the transitive dependency to a secure version.

This change replaces the workspace reference workspace:^ with a pinned, outdated version 0.1.1. This is problematic in a monorepo for several reasons:
- Breaks Monorepo Integrity: It forces this package to use a published, old version of
@backstage/errorsinstead of the current version within this repository, defeating the purpose of a monorepo. - Introduces Version Skew: The current version of
@backstage/errorsin this repository is1.2.1. Pinning to0.1.1will cause this package to use a significantly older version, which could lead to bugs, inconsistencies, and missing security fixes.
The correct way to fix the underlying security vulnerability is to keep the workspace:^ reference and update the yarn.lock file at the root of the repository. This will ensure the transitive dependency is updated to a secure version while maintaining the integrity of the monorepo's internal dependencies.

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.
