 //! Microsoft SQL Server driver (built-in).
 //!
-//! Phase 1 scope: read-only preview. `DriverCapabilities.readonly = true`
-//! keeps the UI from calling CRUD routes; the trait still requires the methods
-//! to exist, so the unimplemented ones return a descriptive error until later
-//! days fill them in.
+//! Phase 2 scope: editing-ready. `DriverCapabilities.readonly = false` and
+//! `manage_tables = true` so the UI exposes INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE routes
+//! for tables (single-PK, composite-PK, and IDENTITY-PK shapes). DDL for
+//! `alter_column` / `create_foreign_keys` is still gated off — that lands in
+//! Phase 3.
