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.

# Waxing Gibbous · 🌔
> *Almost is its own discipline.*
---
Between the [First Quarter](/knowledge/astrology/phases-of-the-moon/first-quarter) and the [Full Moon](/knowledge/astrology/phases-of-the-moon/full-moon) the Moon swells lopsided and bright — obviously almost full, and for several nights, stubbornly not. This is the gibbous phase, and its territory is *almost*: the project that works but isn't right yet, the skill that performs but hasn't settled into the hands, the loaf that needs ten more minutes precisely when the kitchen smells finished.
The crisis of action is behind; the revelation is ahead. What the gibbous asks for is refinement — analysis, adjustment, the unglamorous passes that separate done from good. It's the editor's phase, the sound-check phase, the code-review phase. Its characteristic temptation is impatience: shipping at ninety percent because ninety percent is visible from here. But the Moon is instructive on this point — it does not skip nights, and the last quarter of light takes as long to arrive as the first.
The counsel of the phase: trust the trajectory, keep adjusting, and let fullness come on its own schedule. It will — that's the one thing the cycle guarantees.
