+'@backstage/cli': patch
+---
+
+Add missing peer/dev dependencies to the frontend plugin template.
+
+`react-dom` was not declared as a peer dependency, causing module resolution
+errors when generating plugins outside a Backstage monorepo. This adds
+`react-dom` to `peerDependencies` (for consuming apps) and `devDependencies`
+(for local development). `react-router-dom` is also added to `devDependencies`
+to support routing during plugin development.
+
+Fixes:
+
+- Module not found: Can't resolve 'react-dom'
