+### JDBC 4.3 Appendix B policy
+
+JDBC 4.3 Appendix B is the oracle for type mapping. The source is [`vendor/JDBC4-TYPE-MAPPING.md`](vendor/JDBC4-TYPE-MAPPING.md).
+
+- When Appendix B and sqlite-jdbc disagree, Appendix B wins. A conformance test that encodes the xerial behavior is quarantined in `libsql-conformance`, not copied.
+- Keep sqlite-jdbc parity only where Appendix B is silent. Parity never overrides a defined Appendix B conversion.
+- `ARRAY`, `STRUCT`, `REF`, `JAVA_OBJECT`, and `DISTINCT` are N/A. The driver throws `SQLFeatureNotSupportedException` and does not emulate them.
+- An expression column has no declared type. Its storage-class fallback is a documented exception in [`docs/jdbc-appendix-b-compliance.md`](docs/jdbc-appendix-b-compliance.md), not a supported Appendix B row.
+
+The compliance profile is [`docs/jdbc-appendix-b-compliance.md`](docs/jdbc-appendix-b-compliance.md). Run the commands in [`README.md`](README.md) before changing a type mapping.

+
+### Appendix B quarantines
+
+JDBC 4.3 Appendix B is the oracle. Four selected xerial test methods assert
+behavior that Appendix B replaces. They stay in the vendored tree and still
+run in the `xerial-control` profile, but `XerialQuarantine` excludes them from
+the libSQL run. The full type profile is in
+[`../docs/jdbc-appendix-b-compliance.md`](../docs/jdbc-appendix-b-compliance.md).
+
+| Test | Why the xerial expectation is quarantined |
+|---|---|
+| `org.sqlite.StatementTest#bytesTest` | xerial allows `getBytes` on a declared `BLOB`. Table B-6 lists `getBytes` only for `BINARY`, `VARBINARY`, and `LONGVARBINARY`. |
+| `org.sqlite.RSMetaDataTest#columnTypes` | xerial reports a declared `NCHAR` as `Types.CHAR`. Appendix B defines `NCHAR` as its own JDBC type, so the driver reports `Types.NCHAR`. |
+| `org.sqlite.RSMetaDataTest#testGetColumnClassName` | xerial reports a declared `BLOB` as `java.lang.Object`. Table B-3 maps `BLOB` to `java.sql.Blob`. |
+| `org.sqlite.PrepStmtTest#getObject` | xerial returns an `Integer` for `getObject` on a declared `BIT`. Table B-3 maps `BIT` to `Boolean`. |
+
+The exclusion is method-level, so each method also loses checks that do not
+conflict with Appendix B:
+
+- `StatementTest#bytesTest` also loses its BLOB `setBytes`/`getBytes` round trip.
+- `RSMetaDataTest#columnTypes` also checks other column types that do not conflict, including the INTEGER family, text, numeric, boolean, date and timestamp types, plus DECIMAL precision and scale.
+- `RSMetaDataTest#testGetColumnClassName` also checks the INTEGER, VARCHAR, and DOUBLE class names.
+- `PrepStmtTest#getObject` also checks other `getObject` rows (INTEGER, FLOAT, untyped, VARCHAR and BLOB columns) and the typed getters above them.
