A release from java-grafeas repository would resolve the ci / full-dependencies-convergence.

But it's blocked by Windows build failure: googleapis/java-grafeas#447 (comment) caused by b/217779626

Why does google-cloud-pubsublite declare checker-compat-qual dependency? I don't see it in the effective pom.
https://gist.github.com/suztomo/b9acce2644b4c75286ae20cdda09ba0e

but the published POM https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.google.cloud/google-cloud-pubsublite/1.4.11/jar indeed has the dependency. It's very likely added by the flatten-maven-plugin.

Answer: it turned out that pubsublite's parent pom defines the independent version in it's root pom.xml:

<!-- Explicit override, remove when no longer needed.--> has been there since last September googleapis/java-pubsublite@a046b53 for version 3.17.0.
