Recommended action: Install protobuf 5.29.4+ or 6.x (pip install "protobuf>=5.29.4,<7"), isolating conflicting packages in a separate environment if needed.
Option: Pin protobuf to a supported major [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: xAI SDK (Python) / generated protobuf stubs import
Steps:
1. pip show protobuf
2. pip install "protobuf>=5.29.4,<7"
3. Resolve conflicts with packages requiring protobuf<5
Expected: import xai_sdk succeeds
