Code Review

This PR updates protobuf-java to a major new version (4.33.5), which poses a critical risk of binary incompatibility with the existing grpc-java dependency. grpc-java is tightly coupled with protobuf-java, and using a different major version is very likely to cause build or runtime failures. Additionally, some versions in this PR (e.g., protobuf-java: 4.33.5, grpc-java: 1.78.0) are not found in public Maven repositories, which might indicate a configuration issue with Scala Steward. Due to the high risk of breakage, I recommend rejecting this update.

[gemini-code-assist]

This major version upgrade of protobuf-java from 3.x to 4.x is incompatible with grpc-java 1.x. The grpc-java project's documentation warns against using different major versions of protobuf-java as it will likely cause binary incompatibilities and failures. To prevent breaking the benchmark module, it's best to revert this change.
