Fix StateManager deadlock with explicit BEGIN IMMEDIATE + retry

with conn: context manager in Python sqlite3 doesn't respect busy_timeout
for the implicit BEGIN; under concurrent subprocess writes the transaction
would fail immediately. Replace with explicit BEGIN IMMEDIATE + retry loop
(6 attempts, 0.5s back-off) to handle WAL write contention.
