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.

Twelve styles of being, one wheel. obsidian-knowledge

Signs

Twelve styles of being, one wheel.


Overview

The twelve signs of the zodiac are the how of astrology — the styles the planetary drives take as they move around the wheel. Each is a combination of one of four elements (fire, earth, air, water) and one of three modalities (cardinal, fixed, mutable), so no two signs repeat a recipe. The wheel runs from the first shout of "I am" to the dissolving of every border, and each note in this folder covers one sign's essence, correspondences, and light and shadow.

Four elements down, three modalities across — twelve recipes, none repeated:
