gnome-extra/gnome-contacts-42.0 will happily attempt to build on a system with stable keyword vala (0.52.10), however, in my case it failed with this error: https://dpaste.com/7NDTHM425 (build.log). When I installed the next newest version of vala; 0.54.7, it was used for the build and the build completed successfully.
Please provide emerge --info and attach a full build log. Pastebin links tend to expire/fail over time. Change the bug status back to UNCONFIRMED once the above has been provided.

I was able to fix this locally by adding VALA_MIN_API_VERSION="0.54" to gnome-contacts-42.0.ebuild. I would create a patch but I suspect it'd be more pain to merge it in than it would be to add the line locally :).
It seems like: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-contacts/-/tree/0733806c026504db7f644abd2d04385f54161773 introduced the code that the earlier vala (seemingly) breaks. But meson.build in the gnome-contacts repo still only specifies a minimum of 0.40.10.

I was able to reproduce this on an otherwise up-to-date unstable system (that also had `vala:0.52` installed) by running VALA_MAX_API_VERSION="0.52" emerge -1 =gnome-extra/gnome-contacts-42.0.
