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.

> *The sun does not perform. It simply shines, and calls the shining generosity.*

## Essence
Leo is high summer, the season when the sun is strongest and the world is at its most golden, and the Lion carries that same radiance in its nature. This is fixed fire — not the spark of Aries but the steady, sustained blaze of a star that warms everything within reach. Ruled by the Sun itself, the only sign governed by the source rather than a satellite, Leo is the archetype of the sovereign and the performer, the heart that must express itself in order to feel alive.
There is a largeness to Leo — of gesture, of feeling, of loyalty — that comes from a genuine belief that life is meant to be lived grandly and shared. The Lion loves to give, to celebrate, to make others feel like the center of something. Its need for recognition is not mere vanity but a creature’s need to matter, to have its warmth land somewhere and be received. To be near a Leo in full generosity is to feel warmed by a private sun.

## Light & Shadow
At its best, Leo is magnanimous, warm, and creatively fearless — a natural leader whose confidence lifts everyone in its light, a heart so generous it seems inexhaustible. It gives courage the way the sun gives warmth, simply by being fully itself. But the same fire, when it forgets its source, becomes ego hungry for applause. The Lion can turn tyrannical, demand the spotlight, sulk when unadmired, and mistake being seen for being loved. Pride hardens into arrogance, and the generous king becomes the vain one. Strength, its tarot trump, names the cure precisely — the true power is not the roar but the gentle hand that tames the beast within. Leo’s work is to shine without needing an audience, to love the giving more than the being praised for it.
