Code Review
This automated Snyk PR attempts to fix vulnerabilities by pinning dependencies, but the changes are incorrect for this monorepo's Yarn workspace structure. It replaces workspace:^ with fixed, outdated public versions, which will break internal package linking and likely cause build failures. For instance, @backstage/catalog-model is downgraded from workspace version 1.4.1 to 0.1.1. The failure to update yarn.lock, noted in the PR description, confirms the automated tool's incompatibility. I recommend rejecting this PR and addressing the vulnerabilities manually by updating the appropriate packages within the workspace.

Pinning @backstage/catalog-model and @backstage/types to specific versions is incorrect in this Yarn workspace setup. It breaks the monorepo's internal dependency linking, which relies on workspace:^. Furthermore, the pinned versions (0.1.1) are significant downgrades from the versions available in the workspace (@backstage/catalog-model is at 1.4.1, @backstage/types is at 1.1.0), which will almost certainly cause build failures and runtime errors. These dependencies should be reverted to use workspace:^.

Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/scaffolder-common/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.
