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.

# Nithael
> *The crown that endures is the one worn lightly.*

## The Angel
Nithael (נִתְהָאֵל) unites a root suggesting *sovereignty* and *celestial rule* with the suffix *-el*, "God," and is glossed as "God, King of Heaven" or "the Rightful King of the heavens." He is the fifty-fourth of the seventy-two names distilled from Exodus 14:19–21, and he closes the sign of Sagittarius with the dignity of legitimate, gracious rule.
Nithael's virtue is *rejuvenation, longevity, and grace*. He governs the mercy that flows from just authority, the stability of legitimate rulers and institutions, and the renewal that keeps a person — or a reign — from decaying into rigidity. The tradition credits him with conferring long life, the favour of princes and superiors, and the graceful bearing that wins goodwill without flattery. His is the blessing of enduring things: dynasties that hold, reputations that outlast their moment, a youthfulness of spirit that survives the body's aging. Ruling the final five degrees of Sagittarius, where the archer's flight completes itself before the descent into Capricorn, Nithael marks the point at which aspiration matures into settled authority. To invoke him is to ask for durability — of health, of standing, of the good name one has earned — and for the grace to hold whatever crown one has been given without being hardened by it.
