Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix three security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies in plugins/airbrake-backend/package.json. While the intent is good, the proposed changes have a critical issue.
The dependency @backstage/config is being downgraded to version 0.1.1, which is a very old version and highly likely to be incompatible with the rest of your codebase, potentially causing build failures or runtime errors. I've left a comment with a suggestion to revert this specific change.
Additionally, the PR changes dependencies from using the local workspace:^ version to a pinned version from the public registry. This can be a valid strategy for a quick security fix, but it deviates from the monorepo's dependency management and can introduce maintenance challenges.
Finally, as noted in the PR description, yarn.lock has not been updated. This is a critical step that must be performed manually to ensure the dependency changes are correctly applied and to resolve the transitive dependencies to their patched versions. Please ensure you run yarn install and commit the updated yarn.lock file after addressing the feedback.

This automated Snyk PR makes two significant changes to dependencies that need careful review:
-
@backstage/configdowngrade (Critical): The change from"workspace:^"to"0.1.1"is a massive downgrade from the workspace version (likely1.0.8or newer). This is almost certainly an error by the Snyk bot and will likely cause build failures or runtime errors due to API incompatibilities with other@backstagepackages. This change should be reverted. -
Dependency Pinning (Maintainability): Both
@backstage/backend-commonand@backstage/configare being changed fromworkspace:^to pinned versions. This breaks the monorepo's convention of using local workspace packages. While pinning@backstage/backend-commonto0.24.1might be a valid short-term fix for thetarvulnerability, this approach can create maintenance issues in the long run. The ideal solution would be to update the workspace version of@backstage/backend-commonitself.
Given the critical nature of the @backstage/config downgrade, I suggest rejecting that specific change. You should investigate the eslint vulnerability (SNYK-JS-ESLINT-15102420) separately; the fix may lie in updating a devDependency in the root of the repository rather than here.
"@backstage/backend-common": "0.24.1",
"@backstage/backend-plugin-api": "workspace:^",
"@backstage/config": "workspace:^"
WalkthroughThis PR updates the dependency management strategy for the airbrake-backend plugin by replacing workspace protocol references with fixed version numbers. Specifically, two Backstage dependencies are pinned to explicit versions: Changes

plugins/airbrake-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.
