I didn't get how Box worked when I wrote this, and it might be possible to clean up the type signatures by boxing a lot of the traits such as PathTranslator and Repository.

Research direction
Start by locating the definitions and uses of the PathTranslator and Repository traits, then read the surrounding type signatures to understand where boxing could apply. Compare the current signatures with the proposed boxed forms and confirm whether the cleanup is consistent across the affected interfaces; the work is done when the scope and resulting design are clear and validated.
