Currently the following tasks used with protobuf-gradle-plugin operation modify the bufbuild build directory, but do not declare any outputs (Referenced via BufPlugin constants):
COPY_BUF_CONFIG_TASK_NAME
WRITE_WORKSPACE_YAML_TASK_NAME
CREATE_SYM_LINKS_TO_MODULES_TASK_NAME
Most of the time this is fine, but in some situations Gradle's stale output detection will delete the entire bufbuild directory when processing the copyBufConfig task prior to executing the bufBuild task. Example build output with --info

When this occurs, the bufBuild task fails with the following error:
I haven't been able to reproduce it locally, as I'm sure the CI configuration is doing something nutty, but this regularly occurs in the CI build. I've been able to fix this by manually setting the outputs for the above tasks to layout.buildDirectory.dir(BUF_BUILD_DIR):
Ideally the tasks would properly specify their specific outputs, and perhaps additionally the dependent tasks would simply depend on the task outputs directly instead of dependsOn relationships to tasks. That would follow Gradle recommended practices more closely, and also give Gradle a bit more insight into the dependency graph.
