A first note is that in type theory there is not really a notion of
"proper class" and thus not really a notion of "large category" --
almost without exception we work with a hierarchy of universes, so
that every category lives in *some* universe, e.g. the category of
sets-in-universe-i is a category in universe i+1. So in particular
the notion of "global choice" and its distinction from "local choice"
disappears.
Regarding the adjoint functor theorem, I don't know of anyone having
written down a complete proof, but one might say that the interesting
step (going from representability of each presheaf BB(F(-),B) in
Streicher's language to the existence of an actual functor right
adjoint to F) is contained in Theorem 9.5.9 and Lemma 9.5.10 in the
HoTT Book. Lemma 9.5.10 says that to give a right adjoint of F is
equivalent to giving an element of Pi(B:BB) Sigma(A:AA)
(representation of BB(F(-),B) by A). Note the untruncated Sigma --
here we are only using the "type-theoretic axiom of choice" which is
provable (i.e. the negative universal property of Sigma-types).
Theorem 9.5.9 then says that if A is a univalent category, then in
fact the type "Sigma(A:AA) (representation of BB(F(-),B) by A)" is a
propostion, and hence equivalent to the *truncated* Sigma-type "||
Sigma(A:AA) (representation of BB(F(-),B) by A) ||", i.e. "there
exists an A:AA and a representation of BB(F(-),B) by A" (the book uses
"there exists" to mean *untruncated* Sigma, but this seems to be
falling out of favor). So if we apply AFT methods to prove the
latter, we've also proven the former, and hence can deduce the
existence of an adjoint.
