Problem

coily channel exposes create / read / state / spec / events / post / close, but no list. The backend (otel-a2a-relay channels router, channels/src/otel_a2a_relay_channels/router.py:130) already implements GET /agent-channel?include_closed=false&limit=N, which returns the active set newest-first.

Without a wrapper verb, "pull active agent channels" requires a raw curl with the SSM bearer token, which the auto-mode classifier correctly denies as token exfil to an agent-inferred destination.

Desired surface

coily channel list [--include-closed] [--limit N] [--format json|yaml|markdown]

Default: active only, newest first, capped at the server's 500.
Same auth + base-url resolution as the existing verbs (SSM at channel.ssm_token_path, base channel.base_url).
Markdown default for human read. json/yaml for piping.

Why now

Phone-dictated "pull active agent channels" is exactly the mobile-first surface that should be one coily verb, not a curl + token plumb. Every list-style ask either bounces off the classifier or requires Kai to name an id she doesn't have yet.

Out of scope

Filtering by author / kind / age. Add later if needed. First cut is just the existing backend list.

**Problem** `coily channel` exposes create / read / state / spec / events / post / close, but no `list`. The backend (otel-a2a-relay channels router, `channels/src/otel_a2a_relay_channels/router.py:130`) already implements `GET /agent-channel?include_closed=false&limit=N`, which returns the active set newest-first. Without a wrapper verb, "pull active agent channels" requires a raw curl with the SSM bearer token, which the auto-mode classifier correctly denies as token exfil to an agent-inferred destination. **Desired surface** ``` coily channel list [--include-closed] [--limit N] [--format json|yaml|markdown] ``` - Default: active only, newest first, capped at the server's 500. - Same auth + base-url resolution as the existing verbs (SSM at `channel.ssm_token_path`, base `channel.base_url`). - Markdown default for human read. json/yaml for piping. **Why now** Phone-dictated "pull active agent channels" is exactly the mobile-first surface that should be one coily verb, not a curl + token plumb.
