Code Review

This pull request updates protobuf-java from version 3.25.8 to 4.33.2. This is a major version upgrade that is likely to cause binary incompatibilities with other dependencies, specifically grpc-protobuf. I've left a comment with details on the potential issue and a suggestion to revert this change to maintain compatibility.

[gemini-code-assist]

This update to protobuf-java version 4.33.2 is a major version bump from 3.x and is likely to cause binary incompatibility issues at runtime.

The benchmark module also depends on io.grpc:grpc-protobuf:${GRPC_VERSION} (where GRPC_VERSION is 1.77.0). The grpc-protobuf:1.77.0 library transitively depends on protobuf-java:3.25.3.

• ABI Incompatibility: According to the Protocol Buffers documentation, the 4.x release series is not Application Binary Interface (ABI) compatible with the 3.x series.
• Runtime Errors: Libraries compiled against protobuf-java:3.x (like grpc-protobuf:1.77.0) will not work correctly with protobuf-java:4.x and will likely fail at runtime with errors such as NoSuchMethodError or AbstractMethodError.

To resolve this, you should keep protobuf-java on a 3.x version to maintain compatibility with grpc-java:1.77.0. I recommend reverting this change.

Given this is an automated dependency update from Scala Steward, it might have incorrectly suggested this major version upgrade. It would be safer to stick to the 3.x line for protobuf-java.
