WalkthroughThis pull request updates the dependency management strategy for the ADR backend plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with explicit version numbers for three Backstage dependencies. The changes pin '@backstage/backend-common' to version 0.24.1, '@backstage/plugin-adr-common' to version 0.1.0, and '@backstage/plugin-search-common' to version 0.3.1. This modification transitions from local workspace versions to published package versions, which typically indicates preparation for external distribution or a need to ensure consistent dependency resolution across different environments.

Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, addresses three security vulnerabilities by pinning several @backstage dependencies to specific versions in plugins/adr-backend/package.json. While this change does resolve the vulnerabilities, it deviates from the monorepo's standard practice of using workspace:^ for internal dependencies, which could lead to future maintenance issues. My review highlights this concern and suggests a more idiomatic approach for a monorepo. Additionally, it's critical to note that the yarn.lock file has not been updated, and this must be done manually before merging to ensure the fixes are applied.

While pinning these dependencies to specific versions resolves the security vulnerabilities, it moves away from the workspace:^ protocol used in this monorepo. This can cause maintenance issues and version conflicts in the future.
A more idiomatic fix for a monorepo would be to update the vulnerable transitive dependencies directly in their source packages (e.g., update the tar dependency within the @backstage/backend-common package). After addressing the vulnerabilities at their source, you can revert this change and rely on the workspace mechanism.
If you choose to proceed with pinning as a temporary measure, please remember to run yarn to generate an updated yarn.lock file before merging, as the PR description correctly warns that this step failed.

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.
