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.

# Buer
> *A teacher of philosophy and of the virtues of every herb.*
---
## The Spirit
Buer is the tenth spirit of the *Ars Goetia* and a president among its ranks. The grimoire connects his appearance with the sun in Sagittarius, and gives him a form so distinctive that it has become one of the most reproduced images from the whole catalogue: a wheel or star of radiating limbs, a body from which legs extend like the spokes of a rolling shape, sometimes drawn with the head of a lion at its centre. This solar and radial figure sets him apart among the many hybrid beasts of the tradition.
He belongs to the healing and teaching class of spirits, and the grimoire treats him as a benevolent instructor rather than a spirit of force or dread.
## Office
According to the *Goetia*, Buer teaches natural and moral philosophy, logic, and the virtues of all herbs and plants. He heals distempers, particularly those of men, and bestows good and faithful familiars. His office is therefore that of the physician-philosopher — a spirit consulted for learning, for the properties of the natural world, and for the cure of ailments — which places him among the more benign presences of the catalogue.
