 MSSQL schema + domain API for Dash. One class, methods mirror the file path under `src/store/`.
 
+**`mssql` is a peer dependency** — the host app (e.g. dashback) owns `ConnectionPool` and `import sql from 'mssql'`. libdashstore store code uses only the passed `pool` (no own `mssql` install at runtime). Scripts here (`init-schema`, `test-api`, …) use `mssql` from `devDependencies`.
+
 ```js
 import sql from 'mssql';
 import LibDashStore from 'libdashstore';
