kennethreitz ce93f429a2 Add Knowledge: the vault's reference shelf, crosslinked across the site
Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes,
67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer.

- scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault:
  slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site
  links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables
  rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion
  list plus a privacy guard.
- tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and
  aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note
  (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages
  list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other
  pages get a Related Knowledge block.
- Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never
  displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid
  diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

# Hekamiah
> *“The one who raises the whole of it up, and lets nothing fall.”*

## The Angel
Hekamiah joins the Hebrew root *ḥ-q-m*, carrying the sense of erecting or setting a thing upright, to the theophoric suffix *-iah*, the shortened Name of God. The traditional gloss renders him “God who raises up the universe” — the builder who lifts creation from the ground and holds it standing. Where the lesser magicians read only the demolition of empires, the Kabbalists heard in these same three letters of Exodus 14:19–21 a promise of continuance: that what is raised by the divine hand is not easily thrown down.
The virtue Hekamiah bestows is loyalty, and its guardianship over the loyal. He is the angel of the oath kept, the friend who does not sell you, the soldier who does not desert the line. Traditionally invoked by princes, magistrates, and all who command others, he is said to unmask the traitor before the betrayal ripens and to bind noble hearts in fidelity. His countenance is that of the elder statesman — grave, generous, unimpressed by flattery. To petition Hekamiah is to ask not for advantage but for the strength to be trusted, which the older esotericists counted the rarer gift.
