If you haven't already: Wondering whether updating the MacOS to MacOS 26.0.1 may help:

Reminder: It is always wise to back-up Mac before updating MacOS


Else: If MacOS 26.0.1 is already installed:

You could try quitting Contacts aoo, and restarting your Mac ie: Apple Menu > Restart

See whether or not the problem persists after you sign back into your Mac.

If needed: See Apple support's online article:
