Ligthroom Classic and CC Permission Issues on macOS Sonoma

I have a weird issue with both Lightroom and Lightroom Classic.

Lightroom seems to have permission-related issues on macOS Sonoma.

I last used Lightrooms in December or early January, and it was ok. Suddenly, it's broken.

- Lightroom Classic sees any catalog (even backups stored in NAS) as corrupted

- I can't create a new catalog in a default location (~user/Pictures/)

- I can create a new catalog outside a default location, and then it works

- Sometimes the error says simply that Lightroom has no access to (~user/Pictures) - even if it has all needed permissions in macOS settings and even extra ones, I would say 🙂

- A 2-hour-long remote session with an Adobe technician didn't help solve that problem

- Lightroom CC stopped showing my photos stored in the cloud

- Add Photos button is disabled in Lightroom CC

I tried to clean my Mac manually using AppCleaner / CleanMyMac, but nothing helped.

I also ran a script to fix some permissions but had no luck here.

Now it's even worse - I installed the whole Adobe CC from scratch (again), and Lightroom displays an internal error as it can't save the library file. I managed to change the path, but no luck again (press ESC when the error dialog appears – clicking the button will close the whole app).
