Married filing jointly. Husband has family HDHP all year (W-2 Code W = 4500). I have self-only HDHP (W-2 Code W = 2600). Total = 7100, under family limit 8550. TurboTax says husband overcontributed. No manual contributions. Why?

Did you overcontribute in 2024 and carry over the excess to 2025? The excess in this case appears on line 2 of form 8889 as a "personal contribution" so that it can be applied to the 2025 tax year.
