From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

Yes, plugins (and their dependencies) appear in the `buildscript-gradle.lockfile` (e.g. <https://github.com/tbroyer/gradle-errorprone-plugin/blob/main/buildscript-gradle.lockfile>)

Of course you have to lock the buildscript dependencies:
```buildscript {
    dependencyLocking {
        lockAllConfigurations()
    }
}```
(and I additionally use `lockMode.set(LockMode.STRICT)`)
