clear deletes aliases

[guanyz]

The documentation states that clear only deletes rooms, residents, and issues. However, it also deletes aliases.

Steps to reproduce:

1. alias a/rf cmd/rfind
2. clear
3. aliases. Note that there are no aliases.

Team's Response

Severity should be low because:

• Does not affect normal operation of the app
• Can be updated in documentation to reflect correct behavior, not an error in implementation
• User can undo the clear command if mistaken

Type is documentation because:

• Clearing aliases is intended behavior but was not documented

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue type

Team chose [type.DocumentationBug] Originally [type.FunctionalityBug]

• [ ] I disagree

:question: Issue severity

Team chose [severity.Low] Originally [severity.Medium]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Even if intended, this is still a severity.Medium feature flaw. Unlike app data, user aliases are more like user configurations. Being unable to clear out the app's data without also removing some user configurations fits the bill of severity.Medium, in my opinion, as they cannot bulk-remove data without having to reconfigure all their aliases:

severity.Medium: A flaw that causes occasional inconvenience to some users but they can continue to use the product.
