+# Refactor 260: Upgrade libsqlite3-sys
+
+## Description
+
+Upgrade the `libsqlite3-sys` dependency from `0.35.0` to the latest version. The crate is used with `features = ["bundled"]` for static builds.
+
+A previous manual attempt to upgrade failed on compile, so the agent should investigate compatibility with our current `matrix-sdk-sqlite` dependency and resolve any breaking changes.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] `libsqlite3-sys` is upgraded to the latest compatible version
+- [ ] `cargo build` succeeds
+- [ ] All tests pass
