The whole question of when purpose clauses need or don't need subjects should be addressed where purpose clauses are explained.

As far as I know, when a purpose clause modifies a *noun*, there is *usually* no subject and no *-lu'*, but there are (unexplained) exceptions to it. See for example the second point here: http://lists.kli.org/pipermail/tlhingan-hol-kli.org/2021-July/058919.html).
