Read only contacts can't be edited. Excluding from birthday calendar requires a change to the vcard.

  1. Run Nextcloud 27
  2. Open a contact in the system address book
  3. Open the header actions
Expected behavior

I don't see Exclude contact from birthday calendar

Research direction

Reproduce this in Nextcloud 27 by opening a contact from the system address book and viewing the header actions. Start by tracing the implementation of “Exclude contact from birthday calendar” and how read-only contacts are identified. Done means the action is absent for read-only contacts while remaining available for editable contacts, without triggering the issue described in contacts#3408.
