Description
I'm on a latest (as of now) Mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1 and recently ran brew update and brew upgrade.
Since then I cant start mosh-server with missing libprotobuf
Referenced from: <A4ADD9D7-6104-317D-9439-1B7B22B6E105> /usr/local/bin/mosh-server
Reason: tried: '/opt/homebrew/opt/protobuf/lib/libprotobuf.23.4.0.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/homebrew/opt/protobuf/lib/libprotobuf.23.4.0.dylib' (no such file), '/opt/homebrew/opt/protobuf/lib/libprotobuf.23.4.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libprotobuf.23.4.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libprotobuf.23.4.0.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache), '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/protobuf/25.2/lib/libprotobuf.23.4.0.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/homebrew/Cellar/protobuf/25.2/lib/libprotobuf.23.4.0.dylib' (no such file), '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/protobuf/25.2/lib/libprotobuf.23.4.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libprotobuf.23.4.0.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libprotobuf.23.4.0.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache)
Could not start mosh-server.
mosh and mosh-server has been installed through brew. I tried reinstalling protobuf and then mosh-server, but that didnt do much.
I can't find protobuf@23 on homebrew anymore and latest protobuf points to 25.2.
Any ideas how to get mosh-server working again?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Homebrew installation and the mosh-server launch on macOS Sonoma, then inspect the reported protobuf library dependency and the mosh-server binary path. Use the dyld error and the protobuf 25.2 upgrade as the initial evidence; done means mosh-server starts successfully after the supported dependency relationship is restored.
