Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix security vulnerabilities by pinning several @backstage dependencies to specific versions in plugins/playlist-backend/package.json. This approach is fundamentally incorrect for a monorepo that uses Yarn workspaces. Changing dependencies from workspace:^ to pinned versions breaks the monorepo's dependency structure, which can lead to version conflicts and runtime errors. My review includes a critical comment explaining why this change should be reverted and provides the correct steps to resolve the underlying vulnerabilities by updating packages within the workspace. The provided code suggestion will revert the problematic changes.

This automated change incorrectly pins dependencies to specific versions instead of using workspace:^. In a Yarn workspace monorepo, this is a critical issue as it breaks the unified dependency resolution, forcing this package to use different versions of internal packages than the rest of the application. This can lead to hard-to-debug runtime errors, type inconsistencies, and build failures.
The correct way to address the Snyk-reported vulnerabilities is to manually update the vulnerable packages. The suggested course of action is:
- Revert the changes in this pull request.
- Identify which workspace packages depend on the vulnerable versions of
tarandeslint. - Update those dependencies in their respective
package.jsonfiles. - Run
yarn installto update theyarn.lockfile.
The code suggestion below reverts these changes.

WalkthroughThis pull request modifies the dependency management strategy for the playlist-backend plugin by transitioning from workspace protocol references to pinned version dependencies. Five Backstage packages are affected: backend-common (0.24.1), catalog-client (0.2.0), config (0.1.1), plugin-auth-node (0.1.0), and plugin-permission-node (0.1.0). This change moves away from using workspace-local versions (workspace:^) to explicitly specified version numbers, which enhances build reproducibility and ensures consistent dependency versions across different environments. This approach is particularly useful for production deployments where version stability is critical. Changes

Snyk has created this PR to fix 3 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/playlist-backend/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.
