How should I debug JAR file version clashes in classpath?

Question

I have a question regarding this error I picked up creating a new Compose project. First I created an Empty Compose Activity, then added the following dependencies for Room (as per developer.android guide):

implementation("androidx.room:room-runtime:2.4.1")
annotationProcessor("androidx.room:room-compiler:2.4.1")
kapt("androidx.room:room-compiler:2.4.1")
implementation("androidx.room:room-ktx:2.4.1")

When I ran the project I got the following build error:

> Task :app:compileDebugKotlin
w: Runtime JAR files in the classpath should have the same version. These files were found in the classpath:
    C:/Users/wavec/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/org.jetbrains.kotlin/kotlin-stdlib-jdk8/1.5.31/ff5d99aecd328872494e8921b72bf6e3af97af3e/kotlin-stdlib-jdk8-1.5.31.jar (version 1.5)

w: Some runtime JAR files in the classpath have an incompatible version. Consider removing them from the classpath

After some painful trial and error I figured out that if I change the version of "androidx.room:room-ktx:2.4.1" to 2.3.1 then it builds and runs without the error. What is a good way to debug this? I read similar past posts, but there were mixed answers and some of the IDE tools have changed.
