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.

# Orobas
> *A horse that turns to a man, faithful to those who call and cruel to none.*
---
## The Spirit
Orobas is the fifty-fifth spirit of the Ars Goetia, a Great Prince who first appears in the shape of a horse and, when commanded, puts on the form of a man. Among the spirits of the catalogue he holds a notable reputation for loyalty: the grimoire specifically praises him as faithful to the operator, neither tempting nor deceiving those who summon him, and standing as a protector against the deceptions of other spirits. This trustworthiness is unusual enough that the text singles it out, setting Orobas apart from the many spirits whose loyalty must be forced.
He is chiefly a spirit of divination and of favour, sought for the truth of his answers and for the standing he can secure.
## Office
The Goetia records that Orobas gives true answers concerning things past, present, and to come, and concerning the divinity of God and the creation of the world. He procures dignities and prelacies — offices and honours — and wins the favour of both friends and enemies. Above all he defends the operator faithfully, guarding him from the temptations and lies of the spirits. His office thus joins reliable prophecy, worldly advancement, and protection into a single, notably benevolent commission.
