Beads, a CLI tool backed by Dolt that helps coding agents manage tasks and persist memory, is introducing a new experimental backend mode called proxied-server mode. This mode deploys a local temporary proxy service that automatically manages the Dolt SQL server lifecycle, eliminating issues like zombie servers and unnecessary server spawning. It also improves write performance and Dolt commit boundaries so each bead change maps to a single logical commit. The mode supports shared databases across multiple repos on the same host, and can connect to a remote Hosted Dolt instance to share beads across different hosts, agents, or teams. Migration commands allow switching between existing server modes and the new proxied-server mode.
