Refactors the explore plugin to be more customizable. This includes the following non-breaking changes:
- Introduce new `ExploreLayout` page which can be used to create a custom `ExplorePage`
- Refactor `ExplorePage` to use a new `ExploreLayout` component
- Exports existing `DomainExplorerContent`, `GroupsExplorerContent`, & `ToolExplorerContent` components
- Allows `title` props to be customized
Create a custom explore page in `packages/app/src/components/explore/ExplorePage.tsx`.
```tsx
import {
DomainExplorerContent,
ExploreLayout,
} from '@backstage/plugin-explore';
import React from 'react';
import { InnserSourceExplorerContent } from './InnserSourceExplorerContent';
export const ExplorePage = () => {
return (
<ExploreLayout
title="Explore the ACME corp ecosystem"
subtitle="Browse our ecosystem"
>
<ExploreLayout.Route path="domains" title="Domains">
<DomainExplorerContent />
</ExploreLayout.Route>
<ExploreLayout.Route path="inner-source" title="InnerSource">
<AcmeInnserSourceExplorerContent />
</ExploreLayout.Route>
</ExploreLayout>
);
};
export const explorePage = <ExplorePage />;
```
Now register the new explore page in `packages/app/src/App.tsx`.
```diff
+ import { explorePage } from './components/explore/ExplorePage';
const routes = (
<FlatRoutes>
- <Route path="/explore" element={<ExplorePage />} />
+ <Route path="/explore" element={<ExplorePage />}>
+ {explorePage}
+ </Route>
</FlatRoutes>
);
```

Move `MicrosoftGraphOrgReaderProcessor` from `@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend`
to `@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-msgraph`.
The `MicrosoftGraphOrgReaderProcessor` isn't registered by default anymore, if
you want to continue using it you have to register it manually at the catalog
builder:
1. Add dependency to `@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-msgraph` to the `package.json` of your backend.
2. Add the processor to the catalog builder:
```typescript
// packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts
builder.addProcessor(
MicrosoftGraphOrgReaderProcessor.fromConfig(config, {
logger,
}),
);
```
For more configuration details, see the [README of the `@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-msgraph` package](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/master/plugins/catalog-backend-module-msgraph/README.md).

Support ingesting multiple GitHub organizations via a new `GithubMultiOrgReaderProcessor`.
This new processor handles namespacing created groups according to the org of the associated GitHub team to prevent potential name clashes between organizations. Be aware that this processor is considered alpha and may not be compatible with future org structures in the catalog.
NOTE: This processor only fully supports auth via GitHub Apps
To install this processor, import and add it as follows:
```typescript
// Typically in packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts
import { GithubMultiOrgReaderProcessor } from '@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend';
// ...
export default async function createPlugin(env: PluginEnvironment) {
const builder = new CatalogBuilder(env);
builder.addProcessor(
GithubMultiOrgReaderProcessor.fromConfig(env.config, {
logger: env.logger,
}),
);
// ...
}
```
Configure in your `app-config.yaml` by pointing to your GitHub instance and optionally list which GitHub organizations you wish to import. You can also configure what namespace you want to set for teams from each org. If unspecified, the org name will be used as the namespace. If no organizations are listed, by default this processor will import from all organizations accessible by all configured GitHub Apps:
```yaml
catalog:
locations:
- type: github-multi-org
target: https://github.myorg.com
processors:
githubMultiOrg:
orgs:
- name: fooOrg
groupNamespace: foo
- name: barOrg
groupNamespace: bar
- name: awesomeOrg
- name: anotherOrg
```

Make `ErrorBoundary` display more helpful information about the error that
occurred.
The `slackChannel` (optional) prop can now be passed as an object on the form
`{ name: string; href?: string; }` in addition to the old string form. If you
are using the error boundary like
```tsx
<ErrorBoundary slackChannel="#support">
<InnerComponent>
</ErrorBoundary>
```
you may like to migrate it to
```tsx
const support = {
name: '#support',
href: 'https://slack.com/channels/your-channel',
};
<ErrorBoundary slackChannel={support}>
<InnerComponent>
</ErrorBoundary>
```
Also deprecated the prop `slackChannel` on `TabbedCard` and `InfoCard`, while
adding the prop `errorBoundaryProps` to replace it.

Adds support for custom sign-in resolvers and profile transformations for the
Google auth provider.
Adds an `ent` claim in Backstage tokens, with a list of
[entity references](https://backstage.io/docs/features/software-catalog/references)
related to your signed-in user's identities and groups across multiple systems.
Adds an optional `providerFactories` argument to the `createRouter` exported by
the `auth-backend` plugin.
Updates `BackstageIdentity` so that
- `idToken` is deprecated in favor of `token`
- An optional `entity` field is added which represents the entity that the user is represented by within Backstage.
More information:
- [The identity resolver documentation](https://backstage.io/docs/auth/identity-resolver)
explains the concepts and shows how to implement your own.
- The [From Identity to Ownership](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/issues/4089)
RFC contains details about how this affects ownership in the catalog

The Backstage Software Catalog — actually, a software catalog, since it includes
more than just services — is a centralized system that keeps track of ownership
and metadata for all the software in your ecosystem (services, websites,
libraries, data pipelines, etc). The catalog is built around the concept of
[metadata YAML files](descriptor-format.md) stored together with the code, which
are then harvested and visualized in Backstage.

The processor that performs the import, `LdapOrgReaderProcessor`, comes

dependency to `@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-ldap` to your backend
package.
If you replace the set of processors in your installation using that facility of
the catalog builder class, you can import and add it as follows.
```bash
# From your Backstage root directory
cd packages/backend
yarn add @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-ldap
```
```ts
// Typically in packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts
import { LdapOrgReaderProcessor } from '@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend';
2. The `LdapOrgReaderProcessor` is not registered by default, so you have to
register it in the catalog plugin:

## Plugins
Plugins are rarely marked as stable as the `@backstage/core` plugin API is under
heavy development.
Many backend plugins are split into "REST API" and "TypeScript Interface"
sections. The "TypeScript Interface" refers to the API used to integrate the
plugin into the backend.

## Porting Existing Apps
The first step of porting any app is to replace the root `Routes` component with
`FlatRoutes` from `@backstage/core`. As opposed to the `Routes` component,
`FlatRoutes` only considers the first level of `Route` components in its
children, and provides any additional children to the outlet of the route. It
also removes the need to append `"/*"` to paths, as it is added automatically.
