Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix a security vulnerability by upgrading the @backstage/types package. However, the proposed change from a workspace dependency (workspace:^) to a pinned external version (0.1.1) is problematic for this monorepo setup. It breaks the internal package linkage and seems to downgrade the package, as other files in the repository reference version 1.1.0. This will likely cause build failures or inconsistencies. The correct fix should involve updating the yarn.lock file to resolve the transitive dependency vulnerability while maintaining the workspace protocol.

This change replaces a workspace dependency (workspace:^) with a pinned external version. This is incorrect in a monorepo as it breaks the internal package linking and can lead to inconsistent dependency resolution. Packages within the monorepo should reference each other using the workspace: protocol to ensure they use the code from the same repository.
Furthermore, this change appears to be a downgrade. The @backstage/types package within this monorepo is at version 1.1.0, and this change pins it to 0.1.1. This will likely cause build failures and should be reverted.
The security vulnerability should be addressed by updating the yarn.lock file, not by changing how workspace packages are referenced.

packages/cli-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.
