Adds `claude-queue cleanup [--dry-run]` to remove rate-limit artifacts from ~/.claude/. Identifies rate-limited sessions by scanning debug transcripts for 'rate_limit_error', then deletes correlated JSONL, todo, and telemetry files by UUID. No claude binary needed (E3 pattern).

Problem
When the queue hits rate limits repeatedly, Claude Code creates artifacts in
~/.claude/(JSONL logs, todo stubs, debug transcripts, telemetry files) thataccumulate rapidly — thousands of junk files during a multi-hour rate-limit
window. The per-execution cleanup (PR #32) prevents new accumulation, but
existing backlogs from before that fix still need a one-time purge.
Solution
Adds
claude-queue cleanup [--dry-run]to scan~/.claude/and removerate-limit artifacts in bulk. No claude binary needed (E3 pattern).
Identification strategy: Scans debug transcripts (
~/.claude/debug/*.txt)for
rate_limit_errorin the content (authoritative signal), then deletescorrelated JSONL, todo, and telemetry files by UUID.
