I have focused on analytic truth-makers where an expression of language
x is shown to be true in language L by a sequence of truth preserving operations from the semantic meaning of x in L to x in L.
In rare cases such as the Goldbach conjecture this may require an
infinite sequence of truth preserving operations thus making analytic knowledge a subset of analytic truth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach%27s_conjecture
There are cases where there is no finite or infinite sequence of
truth preserving operations to x or ~x in L because x is self-
contradictory in L. In this case x is not a truth-bearer in L.

This sentence is not true is *self* contradictory.
When it is formalized in Tarski formal system it
becomes the basis for his undefinability theorem.
Tarski's Liar Paradox from page 248
It would then be possible to reconstruct the antinomy of the liar
in the metalanguage, by forming in the language itself a sentence
x such that the sentence of the metalanguage which is correlated
with x asserts that x is not a true sentence.

Formalized as:
x ∉ True if and only if p
where the symbol 'p' represents the whole sentence x https://liarparadox.org/Tarski_275_276.pdf

And why is there no sequence of
logical transformations that leads to:
p
and no sequence of logical
transformations that leads to:
~p
Is p self contradictory?

You have it backwards.
x ∉ True if and only if p
where the symbol 'p' represents the whole sentence x
The above is a very clumsy way of saying
that x is only true if x is not true.
We can know this because Tarski said the was using the
Liar Paradox as his model:
It would then be possible to reconstruct the antinomy of the
liar in the metalanguage, by forming in the language itself
a sentence x such that the sentence of the metalanguage which
is correlated with x asserts that x is not a true sentence.
