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.

Melahel
“The green thing that closes over the wound and holds.”
The Angel
Melahel bears the -el of divine might over a root the tradition associates with deliverance from evil, and reads him “God who delivers from evils.” His office is healing, and specifically the healing that comes through the natural world — through herbs, waters, and the medicinal virtue folded into growing things. He is the angel of the physician who knows his plants, the one who finds the remedy already present in creation rather than manufactured against it.
His domain extends to safe passage and to courage under danger. The old manuals invoke Melahel against weapons, against the perils of travel through hostile country, and against contagion — the fear that the very air might carry harm. He grants both the cure and the nerve to seek it, the boldness of the one who walks into a plague to tend the sick and walks out unharmed. His virtue in the soul is a kind of restorative resilience: the confidence that no evil is final, that the body and the spirit alike carry within them the means of their own repair. To petition Melahel is to ask for health that is more than the absence of sickness — a green and living wholeness, rooted in the order of things and proof against the poisons of the world.
