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.

Phenex

A bird singing sweetly as a child, waiting twelve hundred years to fly home.


The Spirit

Phenex — also spelled Phoenix or Pheynix — is the thirty-seventh spirit of the Ars Goetia, a Great Marquis who appears in the likeness of the mythic firebird whose name he bears, singing with the sweet voice of a child. The grimoires warn the operator not to be moved by this beautiful song, for it is a snare; the exorcist must command the spirit to lay it aside and take on human form before conversing with him. His character is that of the poet and singer, gentle in seeming, and among the more melodious of the infernal ranks.

Like Marchosias, Phenex carries the wistful hope of return. He told Solomon that he trusted to come back to the Seventh Throne after a thousand two hundred years — a hope the grimoire, in its characteristic manner, records without granting.

Office

The Goetia holds that Phenex is a marvellous teacher of all the wonderful sciences, an excellent poet who is ready and willing to perform the operator's requests. His office is bound to eloquence and learning, and he speaks with great skill of the arts and of poetry. He is obedient and forthcoming once his singing is set aside and his human shape assumed.
