What is the best library for resizing and piping images on the backend in jvm-land?

Hi! After upgrading android studio to ladybug 2024.2.1, I get the following error in my project > Inconsistent JVM-target compatibility detected for tasks ‘compileMyAppReleaseJavaWithJavac’ (17) and ‘kspMyAppReleaseKotlin’ (21). How can ksp use a different java version when I made sure all my modules are on Java 17 with this?

extensions.configure<JavaPluginExtension> {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
}

Is anyone else suddenly experiencing failures like

Unable to find a variant of org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test:1.6.10

? This just started now so I'm wondering if someone accidentally yanked an artifact from some repository. Not sure what the best channel to ask about this is.

I have a lazy column with a gradient background, and I want the gradient to be the entire height. BUT after I start scrolling I want to gradient to scroll up/off of the screen. Any Ideas on how to implement? I currently have a Box { GradientBackground() LazyColumn() } but the Gradient (of course) doesn't move up. Is there anything Col or LazyCol provide for this sort of thing? Kind of like a "first page background", and then a background for everything below the device height?
