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.

Mitzrael

“What was bent low is lifted; what was bound is loosed.”


The Angel

The name Mitzrael carries in its root the memory of Mitzrayim — the narrow place, the constriction, Egypt as the archetype of bondage — bound to the divine element -el, “God.” Read together, the name is understood as God who raises up the oppressed, and the angel's whole office is contained in that reversal. Mitzrael attends the moment when a weight is taken off, when the one who has been ground down is straightened and set on their feet again. It is the intelligence of deliverance operating within the human interior as much as in outward circumstance.

The virtue it bestows is a fidelity that outlasts affliction — the strength to remain whole under pressure and to be repaired afterward. Mitzrael is invoked against persecution, against the malice of enemies, and against the mental illnesses that arise from prolonged oppression; it is said to heal what has been broken by cruelty and to restore obedience of the passions to reason. Those under its governance often become instruments of the same mercy they received, natural advocates for the abused and the wronged. Where Harahel gathers and keeps, Mitzrael releases and restores, closing the sign of Capricorn on a note of liberation.
