+## [3.0.1] - 2026-03-14
+
+### Added
+- **Filing Search `accepted_at` field**: `GET /filings/search/{ticker}` response now includes `accepted_at` (ISO 8601 timestamp) in each `FilingSummary`
+  - Sourced from `acceptanceDateTime` in SEC EDGAR submissions JSON — no additional HTTP requests needed
+  - `SECFiling` DB model gains a nullable `accepted_at TIMESTAMP` column
+  - SQLite auto-migration: `ALTER TABLE sec_filings ADD COLUMN accepted_at TIMESTAMP` runs at startup (idempotent)
+  - Existing rows have `accepted_at = NULL`; re-index with `force_refresh=true` to backfill
+  - Enables downstream consumers (e.g. `filing_poller`) to populate `Document.accepted_at_utc` and `Event.filed_at_utc`
+
 ## [3.0.0] - 2026-03-12
