Research direction
Examine the airflowctl codebase structure: locate 'operation.py' for single endpoint implementations and 'ctl/commands' for multi endpoint logic. Implement the 'clear' command following the pattern of existing commands, then add unit and integration tests under 'airflow ctl tests/'. The issue comments may provide additional guidance; if unclear, ask on the issue thread.
