 # Changelog
 
+## 0.3.0 — 2026-10-10
+
+Both packages: `agent-work-layer` 0.3.0 and `agent-work-layer-mcp` 0.3.0.
+
+### Added
+
+- `SqliteStore`: a `DeskStore` backed by SQLite through Node's built-in `node:sqlite` (Node 22.13+), with an atomic CONFLICT check (#1).
+
+### Changed
+
+- `agent-work-layer-mcp` now depends on `agent-work-layer` ^0.3.0.
+
 ## 0.2.1 — 2026-10-09
 
 Documentation only; `agent-work-layer` alone (`agent-work-layer-mcp` stays at 0.2.0).

 ### Custom storage
 
+`MemoryStore` keeps records in memory, `FileStore` writes one JSON file per order, and `SqliteStore` keeps them in a SQLite database using Node's built-in `node:sqlite` (Node 22.13+, no extra dependency):
+
+```ts
+import { WorkDesk, SqliteStore } from "agent-work-layer";
+
+const desk = new WorkDesk({ store: new SqliteStore("./awl.db") }); // or ":memory:"
+```
+
+To use another database, implement `DeskStore`:
+
 ```ts
 import type { DeskStore, OrderRecord } from "agent-work-layer";
