[dependabot]

Bumps io.grpc:grpc-bom from 1.76.0 to 1.77.0.

Release notes

Sourced from io.grpc:grpc-bom's releases.

v1.77.0

API Changes

• binder: Remove experimental BinderChannelBuilder.bindAsUser() method, deprecated since 1.69 (#12401) (f96ce0670)

Bug Fixes

• api: Fix name resolver bridge listener handling for address resolution errors for custom name resolvers (#12441) (acbbf869a). This fixes regression introduced in v1.68.1 causing a “IllegalStateException: No value present.” exception
• core: Fix NullPointerException during address update with Happy Eyeballs (5e8af564e). This should not impact many people as the code is disabled by default, behind two experimental environment variables
• okhttp: Fix bidirectional keep-alive causing spurious GOAWAY (6fc3fd046). This fixes the grpc-okhttp server incorrectly closing the connection with GOAWAY: too_many_pings
• xds: SslContext updates handling when using system root certs (#12340) (63fdaaccc). Since FileWatcherCertificateProvider isn't used when using system root trust store, the SslContext update for the handshake that depended on it wasn't happening. This fix creates a separate CertificateProvider for handling system root certs that doesn't rely on the FileWatcherCertificateProvider.
• xds: Make cluster selection interceptor run before other filters (#12381) (82f9b8ec0). This is needed when there is GcpAuthenticationFilter in the filter chain to make available the cluster resource in CallOptions.
• xds: Handle wildcards in DNS SAN exact matching (#12345) (5b876cc86)
• android: Fix UdsChannelBuilder with WiFi Proxy (349a35a9b)
• binder: Avoid potential deadlock when canceling AsyncSecurityPolicy futures (#12283) (4725ced99)
• binder: Fix a BinderServerTransport crash in the rare shutdown-before-start case (#12440) (91f3f4dc1)

Improvements

• Improve status messages by including causal error details in config parsing errors for outlier detection and xds’s wrr locality policies (86e8b5617)
• xds: Detect negative ref count for xds client (21696cd3d). A negative reference count could cause NullPointerExceptions, so when too many unrefs are detected it produces a SEVERE warning and prevents the reference count from going negative
• xds: Support deprecated xDS TLS fields for Istio compat (#12435) (53cd1a225). This fixes a regression with Istio introduced in v1.73.0. This gives time for Istio’s new xDS field support to roll out
• googleapis: Allow wrapping NameResolver to inject XdsClient (#12450) (27d150890). This allows googleapis to inject an xDS bootstrap to use with its channels even if one is already specified in the environment variable or system property. When the code was originally written there was a single global XdsClient, but since gRFC A71 Xds Fallback each target string has its own XdsClient and thus can have its own bootstrap
• alts: Allow overriding metadata server address with env variable (9ac12ef89) (498f717fc)
• binder: Let the server know when the client fails to authorize it. (#12445) (599a0a146) This avoids the server needing to wait for the handshake timeout before realizing the handshake failed

New Features

• opentelemetry: Implement otel retry metrics from gRFC A96 (#12064) (d380191be)
• opentelemetry: propagate baggage to server metrics for custom attributes (#12389) (155308db2)
• xds: Allow EC Keys in SPIFFE Bundle Map parsing (#12399) (559e3ba41)
• xds: Enable authority rewriting (gRFC A81), system root cert support (gRFC A82), GCP authentication filter (gRFC A83), and SNI (gRFC A101) (#12499) (246c2b1ea). Authority rewriting requires the control plane to be labeled trusted_xds_server in the bootstrap. System root cert support and SNI require using XdsChannelCredentials
• rls: Add route lookup reason to request whether it is due to a cache miss or stale cache entry (#12442) (795ce0280)

Dependencies

• compiler: C++ protobuf used by codegen upgraded to 26.1 (#12330) (55aefd5b8)
• alts: Remove dep on grpclb (b769f966a). ALTS is no longer used with grpclb, so this removes dead code
• Upgrade netty to 4.1.127.Final (b37ee67cf)

Code Review - gRPC Version Update

I'll analyze this pull request against the review checklist:

Summary

This PR updates the gRPC version from 1.76.0 to 1.77.0 in the project's pom.xml.

---

Code Quality

✅ Code follows style guide - The change is properly formatted with consistent spacing and follows Maven POM conventions.

✅ No commented-out code - The inline comment <!-- CURRENT_GRPC_VERSION --> is a legitimate marker, not commented-out code.

✅ Meaningful variable names - The property name grpc.version is clear and follows Maven conventions.

✅ DRY principle followed - The version is centralized in a property for reuse throughout the POM.

✅ No defects identified - This is a straightforward dependency version bump. However, potential concerns:

• No information provided about breaking changes between 1.76.0 and 1.77.0
• Need to verify compatibility with protobuf.version=4.33.1
• Should verify tests pass with new version

---

Testing

❌ Test coverage verification needed - The PR diff doesn't show:

• Whether tests were run with the new gRPC version
• Whether integration tests pass
• Whether the shaded JAR builds correctly with the updated dependency

Recommendation: Verify CI/CD passes and run locally:

mvn clean install
mvn test

---

Documentation

⚠️ CHANGELOG.md update missing - The PR should document this dependency update in CHANGELOG.md:

Expected entry (location: /home/runner/work/sz-sdk-java-grpc/sz-sdk-java-grpc/CHANGELOG.md):

### Changed
- Updated `io.grpc:grpc-bom` from 1.76.0 to 1.77.0

✅ Other documentation - README/API docs likely don't need updates for a minor version bump unless there are breaking changes.

---

Security

✅ No hardcoded credentials
✅ No sensitive data
✅ No license files with critical strings

⚠️ Security advisory check needed - Should verify gRPC 1.77.0 doesn't address any CVEs that were present in 1.76.0. Check release notes at: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/releases/tag/v1.77.0

---

Additional Concerns

🔍 Dependency Shading Impact - From pom.xml:41, this affects:

• The shaded server JAR (sz-sdk-grpc-server.jar)
• All relocated packages under com.senzing.sdk.grpc.shaded.*
• Should verify the Maven shade plugin handles the new version correctly

🔍 Armeria Compatibility - The project uses Armeria framework for the server. Verify compatibility between:

• gRPC 1.77.0
• Current Armeria version
• Netty transport (project uses NIO transport)

---

Verdict

Conditional Approval - The change itself is clean, but requires:

1. ✅ Verify all tests pass
2. ❌ MUST ADD: Update CHANGELOG.md
3. ✅ Check gRPC 1.77.0 release notes for breaking changes
4. ✅ Verify shaded JAR builds successfully
5. ✅ Confirm no CVEs fixed in this release that should be documented

---

Recommended Actions

1. Add CHANGELOG entry at appropriate location
2. Confirm CI build passes (based on git history, this appears to be from a Dependabot PR that likely has CI checks)
3. Review gRPC 1.77.0 release notes: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/releases
