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.

# Paimon
> *He comes with a great host, crowned, and dreadful in his crying.*

## The Spirit
Paimon is the ninth spirit of the *Ars Goetia* and one of its most exalted kings, ranked by the tradition among the most obedient to Lucifer of all the seventy-two. He is said to rule in the western quarter and to arrive with great ceremony — preceded by a host of spirits and by the sound of trumpets and cymbals — which marks him as a figure of unusual dignity within the catalogue. His voice, when he first appears, is described as loud and roaring, so that the operator was counselled to compel him to speak plainly.
The compilers pictured him crowned and enthroned, riding upon a dromedary, a king of great state whose arrival demanded the honours of his rank.
## Office
The *Goetia* states that Paimon teaches all arts and sciences and every secret thing. He gives dignities and confirmations, binds men to the operator’s will, and grants good familiars. He is said to reveal the mysteries of the earth, the winds, and the waters, and to disclose the mind of the one who summons him. His office is thus encyclopedic — a teacher of the whole compass of knowledge and a giver of standing and command — which secured his high place in the esteem of the tradition.
