Code Review

This pull request backports a change to downgrade the grpc-java version from 1.75.0 to 1.74.0 for stability reasons. The change is a single line modification in the build.gradle file. While the change is simple, my review focuses on the potential security implications of downgrading a dependency, as this can re-introduce vulnerabilities that were addressed in the newer version. I have added a comment to highlight this potential risk.

[gemini-code-assist]

Downgrading grpc-java to version 1.74.0 introduces a potential security risk. Version 1.75.0 may contain important security fixes that are not present in 1.74.0. This downgrade could leave the application vulnerable to known exploits that were addressed in the newer version.
