Description

I need to do cleanup for my functions during local development, and it's unclear from the docs and my attempt to follow the source code whether running `func durable purge-history` can ever affect functions running in Azure.

I'd appreciate if these could be documented:

- Any risks of `purge-history` affecting non-local Durable Function instances.
- How to identify all Functions that would be affected by `purge-history`, so I can sanity-check before doing it.
