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.

Andras

He is discord made flesh, and he does not spare the hand that summons him.


The Spirit

Andras is the sixty-third spirit of the Ars Goetia, a Great Marquis, and among the most feared entries in the entire catalogue. He appears with the body of an angel and the head of a raven or a black night-owl, riding upon a strong black wolf and brandishing a sharp and gleaming sword. Every element of the image is ill-omened — the carrion bird, the predator, the drawn blade — and the grimoire is unusually candid about the danger he poses.

Where most Goetic spirits promise some benefit, Andras is the spirit of sown enmity. The tradition warns that he is a killer by nature, and that the conjurer who fails to control him carefully may find that the discord he traffics in is turned against the operator's own household. He is a cautionary figure, invoked in the texts to illustrate that not every one of the seventy-two is safe to command.

Office

The Ars Goetia states plainly that Andras sows discord. His office is the breaking of concord — the setting of friend against friend, the kindling of quarrels and murderous intent. The manuscripts caution that if the exorcist is not on his guard, Andras will slay both him and his assistants, and that the master of the spirit must be careful lest the strife he means to direct outward consume the circle itself.
