Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix six security vulnerabilities by updating dependencies in packages/config/package.json. While the update to lodash seems correct, the change to @backstage/types is highly problematic. It downgrades the package from what should be the current workspace version (1.1.0) to a very old version (0.1.1), which contradicts the project's own changelog and is likely to cause breakages. This needs to be corrected. Additionally, as noted in the PR description, the yarn.lock file has not been updated. This must be done manually by running yarn install after correcting the dependencies to ensure the changes are properly applied.

The dependency @backstage/types has been changed from workspace:^ to 0.1.1. This is a significant and incorrect downgrade that will likely cause issues.
The workspace:^ specifier ensures that this package uses the version of @backstage/types from the same monorepo, which is 1.1.0. Downgrading to 0.1.1 is a major step back and will likely introduce breaking changes or regressions.
The CHANGELOG.md for this package (@backstage/config) explicitly states that version 1.0.8 (the current version) was updated to use @backstage/types@1.1.0.
This change should be reverted to maintain consistency within the workspace and prevent potential build failures or runtime errors. The dependency should remain as workspace:^.

WalkthroughThis PR updates dependency management in the config package by transitioning from workspace-based to published package versions and upgrading a third-party library. The @backstage/types dependency is changed from a workspace protocol reference to a fixed published version (0.1.1), indicating the package is now consuming a stable release rather than a local workspace version. Additionally, lodash is upgraded from version 4.17.21 to 4.17.23, a patch-level update that typically includes security fixes and bug patches to improve package stability and security posture.

packages/config/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.
