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.

Planets

The moving lights — the faculties of the psyche.


Overview

The planets are the what of astrology — the drives and faculties every psyche contains, styled by the signs and staged in the houses. The classical seven (Sun through Saturn) are the personal and social faculties, visible to the naked eye and known to every ancient culture; the modern three (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) are the transpersonal forces, moving too slowly to belong to any one life. Pages are suffixed (astrology) to keep them distinct from the gods they share names with. Each note covers the planet's essence, correspondences, and how it behaves in a chart.

The ten drives split into the classical seven and the modern three, each keyed to the sign or signs it rules:
