Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix four security vulnerabilities by changing dependencies in plugins/analytics-module-ga/package.json. However, the proposed changes are incorrect and introduce a critical risk. The PR replaces workspace:^ references with severely outdated, pinned versions of core @backstage packages. This will almost certainly break the application due to major version downgrades and API incompatibilities. The workspace:^ protocol is essential for maintaining consistency in a monorepo. The changes should be rejected, and the vulnerabilities should be addressed by updating the specific transitive dependencies that are vulnerable, not by downgrading core packages.

This change introduces significant downgrades for several core @backstage packages by replacing workspace:^ with outdated, pinned versions. This poses a critical risk of breaking the application due to version mismatches and API incompatibilities.
The following packages are being downgraded:
@backstage/config: from1.0.8(in workspace) to0.1.1@backstage/core-components: from0.13.4-next.0(in workspace) to0.8.6@backstage/core-plugin-api: from1.5.3(in workspace) to0.1.0@backstage/theme: from0.4.1(in workspace) to0.1.1
Using workspace:^ is standard practice in this monorepo to ensure internal packages stay in sync. Pinning to old versions breaks this mechanism.
The vulnerabilities this PR aims to fix likely originate from transitive devDependencies (e.g., via @backstage/cli), not these direct dependencies. A better approach would be to target the vulnerable packages directly, for example by using resolutions in the root package.json or updating the packages that introduce the vulnerabilities.
I recommend reverting this change to avoid breaking the project.

plugins/analytics-module-ga/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.
