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.

Pahaliah

“Bought back from a country he never meant to sell himself to.”


The Angel

Pahaliah closes in -iah and is traditionally rendered “God the Redeemer,” the one who buys back what has been forfeited. The root carries the sense of ransom and deliverance — not the erasure of a debt but its payment by another hand. He is the angel of the turned life, the vocation discovered late, the return of one who had wandered far from the thing he was made for.

The virtue Pahaliah bestows is chastity in the older, larger sense: not merely continence of the body but a wholeness and singleness of devotion, a life re-ordered around what is sacred. The manuals name him the patron of conversions and of religious vocation, invoked by those who wish to overcome the appetites that scatter them and to consecrate their strength to a higher aim. He governs the sacred boundary that protects the inner life from the profane — the discipline that says this far and no further, not from fear but from reverence. Those who work with Pahaliah are said to be delivered from the temptations that would betray their calling, and to find in restraint not a diminishment but a concentration of power. He is the angel of the vow taken seriously, the threshold guarded, the self given back to its proper purpose.
