+Fix flushSync error in Svelte 5 async compiler mode
+
+Previously, `useLiveQuery` threw an error when Svelte 5's async compiler mode was enabled:
+
+```
+Uncaught Svelte error: flush_sync_in_effect
+Cannot use flushSync inside an effect
+```
+
+This occurred because `flushSync()` was called inside the `onFirstReady` callback, which executes within a `$effect` block. Svelte 5's async compiler enforces a strict rule that `flushSync()` cannot be called inside effects, as documented at svelte.dev/e/flush_sync_in_effect.
+
+**The Fix:**
+
+Removed the unnecessary `flushSync()` call from the `onFirstReady` callback. Svelte 5's reactivity system automatically propagates state changes without needing synchronous flushing. This matches the pattern already used in Vue's implementation.
+
+**Compatibility:**
+
+- ✅ For users WITHOUT async mode (current default): Works as before
+- ✅ For users WITH async mode: Now works instead of throwing error
+- ✅ Future-proof: async mode will be default in Svelte 6
+- ✅ All 23 existing tests pass, confirming no regression
+
+**How to enable async mode:**
+
+```javascript
+// svelte.config.js
+export default {
+  compilerOptions: {
+    experimental: {
+      async: true,
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Fixes #744
