@backstage/create-app
patch

Switched the file: dependency for a link: dependency in the backend package. This makes sure that the app package is linked in rather than copied.

To apply this update to an existing app, make the following change to packages/backend/package.json:

   "dependencies": {
-    "app": "file:../app",
+    "app": "link:../app",
     "@backstage/backend-common": "^{{version '@backstage/backend-common'}}",
