+### Patch Changes
+
+- 00a9da5: Yield between maintenance chunks so live writers are never starved.
+
+  v0.130.2 bounded every maintenance transaction, but back-to-back chunks
+  still starved the control loop during a large backlog migration: SQLite's
+  busy handler retries without fairness, so the maintenance loop re-acquired
+  the write lock before any waiting writer won its retry. Prune chunks,
+  rolloff deletes, and diagnostics batch-deletes now pause (250/100 ms)
+  between transactions, guaranteeing every waiting writer a window.
