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.

Waning Crescent · 🌘

Rest is not the absence of the work. It is the last phase of it.


In the final days of the cycle the Moon thins to a fading crescent, rising just before the Sun in the pre-dawn east — the old moon, visible only to those awake at the quiet hour. The traditional name is the balsamic moon, after the healing resin: the phase of rest, surrender, and repair before the cycle conceives again.

Nothing new belongs here. The month's work has been done, tested, revealed, shared, and pruned; what remains is composting — letting the residue of the cycle break down into the soil the next New Moon will plant in. Sleep runs deeper in this phase, or wants to. Dreams get louder; the Dream Logs fill from exactly this kind of threshold time. This is the deepest reach of Hecate's territory — the crone's moon, the guide who knows the way down because the way down is hers.

The counsel of the phase is the hardest one in the cycle for anyone who measures themselves by output: stop. Not everything fallow is failing. The seed that goes into the next dark carries everything this crescent had the grace to release.
