Fix: Pin buf protoc plugin versions to resolve runtime protobuf
compatibility issues
# Which Problems Are Solved
The console application was experiencing a runtime error "requireUtf8 is
not a function" when the authentication service attempted to deserialize
protobuf messages. This error started occurring recently due to
automatic updates of buf protoc plugins.
# How the Problems Are Solved
pinning of the versions in buf.gen.yml and package.json
