What changed?
Why?
The double semicolon sequence is causing a compilation error in
protobufjs
, even though this is technically valid according to the official Protobuf 3 spec.This is a bug in
protobufjs
, for which there's been an open issue ticket since 2019, but it was never acknowledged, and a PR fixing this has been ignored for more than a year.Given that there's simply no reason to use a double semicolon sequence anyway, it appears preferable to simply avoid that in our proto definitions.
This was fixed upstream in Fix protobuf syntax that is causing an error in protobufjs api#589, but this is a temporary, targeted-fix to avoid pulling in other changes we don't want in Core immediately.
