Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix three security vulnerabilities by pinning versions for @backstage/backend-plugin-api and @backstage/plugin-events-node. However, this change replaces the workspace:^ protocol with hardcoded versions, which is detrimental to a monorepo using yarn workspaces. It breaks the local development workflow and can introduce dependency conflicts, as indicated by the warning that the yarn.lock file failed to update. I have added a critical review comment recommending that this change be reverted and the vulnerabilities addressed by updating the dependencies within the monorepo's structure to maintain its integrity.

While the intent to fix security vulnerabilities is correct, pinning these dependencies to specific versions breaks the yarn workspace setup of this monorepo. Using workspace:^ ensures that this package uses the local, in-repo versions of @backstage/backend-plugin-api and @backstage/plugin-events-node, which is fundamental for monorepo development and consistency.
Pinning to external versions can lead to:
- Multiple, conflicting versions of the same package in the project.
- Local changes in the workspace packages not being reflected during development.
- Dependency resolution issues, as indicated by the PR note:
Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.
The recommended approach is to revert this change and instead address the vulnerabilities by updating the dependencies within the monorepo, which will preserve the integrity of the workspace structure.

Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/events-backend-module-gerrit/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.
