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
Sallos — also rendered Saleos in some manuscripts — is the nineteenth spirit of the Ars Goetia, a great and mighty Duke of the infernal orders. The grimoire presents him in a notably peaceable light: he appears as a gallant soldier riding upon a crocodile and wearing a ducal crown, an image both regal and faintly exotic. Among the spirits of the Lesser Key, Sallos is distinguished by his temperament, for the text describes him as peaceable, a quality not lavished upon many of his fellows.
The crocodile mount is one of the more memorable of the Goetic beasts, and the ducal crown affirms his standing. His bearing is that of a courteous knight rather than a menacing power.
## Office
The office of Sallos belongs to the domain of love. The Goetia holds that he causes the love of men toward women and of women toward men, drawing the affections of the two sexes into mutual regard. In this he joins the small company of Goetic spirits — alongside figures such as Zepar — whose sole concern is the kindling and binding of desire, though Sallos is remembered for working his office gently and without the harsher corollaries attributed to some of his kin.
