 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-11-29 - 3.1.0 - feat(schema-manager)
+Add Schema Management module and expose it in public API; update README to mark Phase 3 complete and move priorities to Phase 4
+
+- Add ts/domain/schema/index.ts to export SchemaManager and related types
+- Re-export SchemaManager and schema types from top-level ts/index.ts so schema APIs are part of the public surface
+- Update README hints: mark Phase 3 Advanced Features complete (Transaction Support and Schema Management), add schema/transaction example references, and update Next Priorities to Phase 4 (Comprehensive Test Suite, Migration Guide, README Update)
+
 ## 2025-11-29 - 3.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(core)
 Refactor to v3: introduce modular core/domain architecture, plugin system, observability and strict TypeScript configuration; remove legacy classes
