What is the minimum type of item the homeowner must have in the soldiers' room to retain tefisas yad and avoid the prohibition? Is a movable (non-muktzeh) item sufficient, or must it specifically be muktzeh?

Synopsis

The Mechaber requires specifically muktzeh items (items that cannot be moved on Shabbat). The Magen Avraham's comment suggests movable items with a right of access may also suffice, paralleling Siman 382:18, but the Biur Halacha and others read him differently.
