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 Spirit
Focalor — also spelled Forcalor or Furcalor — is the forty-first spirit of the Ars Goetia, a Great Duke who appears in the form of a man with the wings of a griffin. He is one of the great maritime spirits of the catalogue, holding dominion over the winds and the sea, and his reputation is that of a drowner of men and a wrecker of ships. In this he shares his elemental territory with the duke Vepar, his neighbour in the ordering of the spirits.
The grimoires preserve a striking detail of restraint about him: Focalor, like others of his kind, is said to have belonged to the Order of Thrones before his fall, and he hopes to return to Heaven after a thousand years — though the tradition records that he is deceived in this hope. Because of that hope he will do no hurt to any man unless he is expressly commanded to it by the operator.
## Office
The Goetia says Focalor has power over the winds and the sea, and can overthrow warships and drown men in the water. His office is the command of tempest and tide — the raising of storms upon the ocean and the sinking of vessels — yet he refrains from harm unless directly commanded, holding his destructive power in check.
