 # kiroku-otel changelog
 
+## 0.3.0.1 — 2026-10-28
+
+### Other Changes
+
+* Explicitly ignore apply/already-applied maintenance events in subscription
+  telemetry; durable compaction evidence remains in the store ledger.
+
+* Handle compaction preview/refusal events explicitly without changing the
+  published subscription tracing or metrics schema.
+
+- Require `kiroku-store ^>=0.13.0.0`; the public telemetry/HTTP schema is unchanged.
+
 ## 0.3.0.0 — 2026-10-26
