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.

# Samigina
> *He gives account of the dead who perished in their sins.*

## The Spirit
Samigina — rendered also as Gamigin or Gamygyn — is the fourth spirit of the *Ars Goetia* and the first of its marquises. His name has passed through several corruptions in the manuscript tradition, and the two principal spellings sit side by side in modern editions without settling the question of an original form. He belongs among the spirits whose concern is with the dead and with the arts of learning, and the grimoire pairs these two offices in him with a certain scholarly gravity.
His remembered aspect is animal and shifting: a small horse or ass that changes, once the operator persists, into human form. The voice attributed to him is hoarse, a detail shared with several of the early spirits of the catalogue.
## Office
The *Goetia* holds that Samigina teaches the liberal sciences and gives account of the souls of those who have died in sin. Summoned on behalf of the living, he is said to report on the state of the dead and to answer for spirits who lie under the sea. His office thus binds together the teaching of the arts and a necromantic commerce with the departed, making him a spirit consulted for learning and for word from beyond.
