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.

Naberius

“A black crane that circles, hoarse of voice, teaching the arts of speech.”


The Spirit

Naberius — also rendered Cerberus or Naberus — is the twenty-fourth spirit of the Ars Goetia, a valiant Marquis of the infernal hierarchy. The grimoire describes his manifestation in a distinctive manner: he appears in the form of a black crane or raven that flutters about the circle, and when he speaks his voice is hoarse. This avian, restless presence, circling the operator’s protective boundary, sets him apart from the more anthropomorphic or bestial spirits of the Lesser Key.

The name Cerberus, borrowed from the three-headed hound of classical myth, hints at the layering of older traditions within the grimoire, though the crane-form given in the text remains his signature aspect. His hoarse utterance is a recurring detail across the manuscripts.

Office

The Goetia holds that Naberius makes men cunning in all the arts and sciences, and especially in the art of rhetoric — the persuasive command of language. He is said to restore lost dignities and honours, returning to the operator the standing that had been taken away. He is thus a spirit of eloquence and restoration, invoked for skill in speech and for the recovery of reputation and rank.
