SPRING STACK TIGHTENS DEPENDENCY CHAIN OVERNIGHT

Protobuf, Hibernate, and Node.js all bumped across the portfolio, with Spring AI pinning its toolchain while integration layers patch upstream.

Spring Integration is moving fast on dependency updates, bumping protobuf-bom to 4.34.2 [1] while also pulling in Hibernate ORM 7.3.6.Final [2] into its development dependencies. Both patches are maintenance releases without breaking changes, so they're safe to carry forward. In parallel, Spring AI locked Node.js to 24.15.0 [3], a deliberate pinning strategy that suggests the team is locking down toolchain consistency ahead of something bigger. The AOT smoke tests also regenerated their workflows [4], likely picking up these dependency shifts. Nothing here breaks your build, but the coordinated timing across three repos suggests the Spring team is preparing the stack for a synchronized release window.

Action items

→ Merge protobuf and Hibernate bumps into Spring Integration at next maintenance window spring-projects/spring-integration [plan]
→ Verify Node.js 24.15.0 compatibility in your Spring AI integrations if you override toolchain versions spring-projects/spring-ai [monitor]
