Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request broadens the acceptable version range for the "protobuf" library within the project's dependency configurations. By allowing "protobuf" versions up to 7.x, it resolves a specific issue (#2574) and ensures that generated client libraries and the generator itself can integrate with newer "protobuf" releases without strict version conflicts, thereby enhancing flexibility and maintainability.

Highlights

• Dependency Management: The upper bound for the "protobuf" dependency has been relaxed from "<7.0.0" to "<8.0.0" across all relevant "setup.py" files and Jinja2 templates, enabling compatibility with "protobuf" 7.x.
