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.

# Lauviah II
> *“What is hidden by day is spoken to the sleeper by night.”*

## The Angel
The seventeenth angel shares his name with the eleventh, and the tradition preserves both — hence the numeral. His three letters resolve, with the suffix *-iah*, to “God admirable” or “God to be exalted,” the praise-Name distinguished from the earlier Lauviah of victory by his nocturnal office. Where his elder namesake governs renown among the living, this Lauviah presides over the frontier of sleep, where the waking mind loosens and revelation slips through.
He is the angel of high dreams and sudden insight — the one who visits the geometer with the missing proof, the composer with the unfinished phrase, the mystic with the image that will not come by daylight. The virtue he bestows is illumination of the sciences and the arts, and specifically the kind that arrives unbidden. The older manuals recommend him to those who study the abstract disciplines, and warn that his gifts are attended by melancholy: the mind opened to such transmissions does not always close cleanly, and the recipient may struggle with a heaviness of spirit, a longing for the world glimpsed in dream. To invoke Lauviah II is to court both the revelation and its cost, and the wise petitioner asks also for the steadiness to bear what is shown.
