After changing my project's build.gradle to use a new version of a Gradle plugin which does a whole bunch of stuff (hard to isolate root cause), I get the following error when running resolveAndLockAll --write-locks to update the project's lockfiles.
Execution failed for task ':resolveAndLockAll'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':allCodeCoverageReportSourceDirectories'.
> Could not resolve com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:3.15.7.
Required by:
project : > project :my-project
> No matching variant of com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:3.21.4 was found. The consumer was configured to find a component of category 'verification', and its dependencies declared externally, as well as attribute 'org.gradle.verificationtype' with value 'main-sources' but:
- Variant 'compile' capability com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:3.21.4:
- Incompatible because this component declares a library and the consumer needed a component of category 'verification'
- Other compatible attributes:
- Doesn't say anything about how its dependencies are found (required its dependencies declared externally)
- Doesn't say anything about org.gradle.verificationtype (required 'main-sources')
- Variant 'enforced-platform-compile' capability com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java-derived-enforced-platform:3.21.4:
- Incompatible because this component declares an enforced platform and the consumer needed a component of category 'verification'
- Other compatible attributes:
- Doesn't say anything about how its dependencies are found (required its dependencies declared externally)
- Doesn't say anything about org.gradle.verificationtype (required 'main-sources')

[TRUNCATED]
I am unable to understand what the error message is actually trying to communicate.
In the context of this error message, what is meant by the following terms?:
- Variant capability
- Compatible variant capability
- Compatible attribute
- Enforced platform
- Consumer
- Component of category 'verification'
- Dependencies declared externally
