Here's a new one... Contacts 14.0 in Sequoia 15.7.5.

Lists become uneditable a short while after being created, and the
ineditability is seems to be triggered by... being edited.

By editing I mean changing its name, or adding contacts to it. I can do this a
little, and then usually within a minute or two of its creation it becomes
uneditable.

After a list becomes uneditable, "Rename list" is greyed out in the Edit menu.

To me this suggests that the issue is caused by some sort of iCloud sync
failure. A partial failure, because the MacBook is still able to collect
changes from the cloud.

It happens only on my MacBook. iCLoud and iOS work perfectly well.

Bizarrely, once I saw the menu entry appear as "Rename group", also greyed out
(Groups was the old name for Lists).

After an hour of this I am no closer to a fix.
