Held by the maintainer (2026-11-04): min type list|show needs the built-in Box Types as data (BOX-059, BOX T22 #2420) and the per-value type source (BOX-161, BOX T16 #2410). This task waits on both.
Waits on:
- T5 — Versioned JSON objects and errors, secrets as references #2891
- T16 — Fold the layers into one expanded spec, the same bytes every run #2410
- T22 — Resolve Box Types to a built-in root #2420

### T19 — List and show the box types
slice: S5
kind: task
covers: BCLI-019, BCLI-020
size: M
est: 220 code, 120 tests
executor: agent
difficulty: routine
model: standard
diagnostics: `min type list` prints each type with its source, "builtin" or "project", pinned by type_list_shows_builtin_and_project_types_with_source
observability: the command's existing tracing span records the verb, the box id it resolved and the outcome
layers:
- client:
- crates/minimal/src/cmd/types.rs (new): `min type list` and `min type show <name>` with the source of every value
- crates/minimal/src/cmd/mod.rs: dispatches the verb
- crates/minimal/src/cli.rs: the verb's arguments and help in the one command model
- crates/minimal/src/tests.rs: the in-process minimald test harness gains this layer's tests
test: cargo nextest run -p minimal type_list_shows_builtin_and_project_types_with_source
test: cargo nextest run -p minimal type_show_matches_shipped_table_with_sources
produces:
- crates/minimal/src/cmd/types.rs (entry point)
consumes:
- crates/minimal/src/cmd/output.rs
proof: `min type list` shows every type with its source, and `min type show` shows a type's defaults and constraints.
depends on:
- blocked by #2891
- blocked by #2410
- blocked by #2420

The coder changed nothing: noop: the task cannot be done inside its layers at this branch head. The task says 'blocked by #2891', and that dependency did not land. (1) No code holds the six built-in Box Types as data (BOX-059) or resolves project types. crates/boxes/src/lib.rs has only SESSION_BOX_TYPE and TASK_BOX_TYPE string constants, and no crate mentions agent, service, build or container-build types. (2) No code names the type that supplies a value (BOX-161), so
min type showhas no source to show for each value. (3) BCLI-020 binds the output to 'the architecture's table of built-in types'. That table is not in this repository: docs/architecture.md has 251 lines and no types table, and no doc outside the specs mentions exec_enabled or on_oom. To write the command, I must invent the type defaults and constraints in crates/minimal/src/cmd/types.rs. That puts the type model in the client, outside the boxes crate where it belongs, and the test type_show_matches_shipped_table_with_sources would co…[truncated]. No pull request was opened.branch
