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.

Caliel

“Call, and be answered before the words are finished.”


The Angel

Caliel closes his three letters with -el, the Name of God as power and might, and the root beneath carries the sense of prompt response, of the one quick to grant. The tradition names him “God prompt to grant,” the angel who does not keep the just petitioner waiting. His is the swift verdict that vindicates the innocent — not mercy in defiance of law, but the law working as it was meant to, without the corruptions of delay.

He governs justice, truth, and the exposure of the false witness. Where a matter is tangled in perjury and manufactured evidence, Caliel is the angel invoked to bring the hidden truth to the surface, to make the guilty betray themselves and the wronged be seen clearly. The older writers set him against the machinations of the courtroom, the slander that ripens into ruin, the accusation that cannot be answered because its author remains in shadow. His virtue in the human soul is integrity of judgment: the capacity to see a situation as it truly is, uncolored by desire or fear, and to render a fair account of it. To one who works with the mind against unreliable perception, Caliel offers a particular consolation — he is the angel by which the true and the false are told apart.
