Adds c_msg_purge to coord.py + SKILL.md doc. Deletes coordination messages older than a
date cutoff via DELETE /api/coord/messages/{id}. Safety: --before is required (can't wipe
the store by accident), DRY-RUN by default (previews; --yes to actually delete), optional
--to scopes to one recipient session, paginates over the API's 1000-row limit cap, logs
partial failures. Replaces the ad-hoc curl loop used to purge 208 stale messages this session.

PROBLEM: Broadcast messages were never being marked as read on the server,
only tracked in a local gitignored seen-file. This caused them to re-appear
in every new session or on different machines.
ROOT CAUSE: check-messages.sh lines 101-104 had a flawed assumption that
broadcasts share a single read_at field that would "clobber" other machines'
unread state. This was wrong - the API supports per-session read tracking.
FIX:
- check-messages.sh now marks broadcasts as read on the server (like personal
messages), in addition to tracking them in the local seen-file
- Updated comments to reflect correct behavior
- coord SKILL.md now documents auto-mark-read behavior and reply workflow
- Manually marked all 39 accumulated unread broadcasts as read
IMPACT: Broadcast messages will now be properly marked as read and won't
keep appearing across sessions. Fixes user complaint about answered questions
(pfSense cred-path, fabb3421, etc.) continuing to show up.
Logged to errorlog.md as --correction.
The skill/command DOCS instructed Claude to run a bare `py ...`, which is the
Windows py-launcher — absent on Linux/macOS (exit 127, hit on GURU-KALI). A blind
py->python3 swap is wrong too: python3 is a broken MS Store shim on some Windows
boxes where `py` is the correct launcher.
Fix mirrors the resolution the .sh skill scripts already do:
- New .claude/scripts/py.sh: picks the interpreter that actually RUNS —
identity.json python.command first, then py -> python3 -> python, each
validated with `-c 'import sys'` so the MS Store stub is skipped. exec's it.
- Repointed all DOC invocations (10 files, ~70 sites) from `py ...` to
`bash "$CLAUDETOOLS_ROOT/.claude/scripts/py.sh" ...` (incl. the `py -c` and
`py -` heredoc forms in checkpoint.md / mailbox.md).
- Left the .sh skill scripts untouched — they already resolve py/python/python3.
- errorlog.md: marked the GURU-KALI entry RESOLVED.
Depends on CLAUDETOOLS_ROOT (seeded by ensure-settings-env.py); py.sh also
self-resolves the repo root via git/cwd as a fallback.
