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.

## The Angel
Mebahel means *God the Preserver*, or *the God who guards and delivers*, the *-el* suffix binding the office of protection to the divine source. In the second station of Gemini — five to ten degrees — it governs justice, truth, and liberty, standing as the advocate of the oppressed and the vindicator of the innocent. Its preservation is specifically the shielding of those who have no other shield: the wrongly accused, the captive, the powerless caught in the machinery of the powerful.
The tradition credits Mebahel with delivering the innocent from persecution and with confounding the schemes of false witnesses, so that truth prevails where deceit had seemed to hold the field. It grants a love of justice for its own sake and inclines its favourites toward the defence of the weak and the rescue of the wronged. Those under its patronage are drawn to law, to advocacy, and to every labour that liberates the captive; they possess a sober and truthful temperament that recoils from oppression. Mebahel answers the Goetic marquis [Leraje](/knowledge/angels-and-demons/ars-goetia/leraje), the spirit of strife and battle whose province is contention and the wounds of war; in the angelic register that same martial energy is turned to the defence of the just, so that combativeness becomes the courage to plead an unpopular truth.
