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.

Chavakiah

“The broken house is mended at the shared table.”


The Angel

Chavakiah is read as “God who gives joy” or “the God who brings gladness,” its root touching the sense of embrace and gathering — ḥāvaq, “to enfold, to draw together” — sealed with the divine suffix -iah. It is the angel of reconciliation, of the arms opened again after estrangement, and its joy is specifically the joy of restored kinship.

Ruling the fifth pentad of Virgo, from twenty to twenty-five degrees, Chavakiah governs the domestic sphere: the peace of families, the healing of quarrels, and the just division of inheritances. Its classical office is to reconcile those who have fallen out — spouses, siblings, parents and children, friends divided by grievance — and to restore concord where discord has taken root. The virtue it bestows is a peace-making spirit joined to filial devotion: the gift of loving one's own, of forgiving old wounds, and of preferring harmony to the bitter satisfaction of being right. Under its influence lawsuits among kin are settled, testaments are shared without rancour, and the household is knit again into one body. It is invoked by those who would mend a broken family, by mediators, and by any who long for reconciliation with someone estranged. In the comparative scheme Chavakiah answers the Goetic marquis Marchosias, a fierce and warlike spirit who fights faithfully for his commander; where Marchosias is strong in combat, Chavakiah is strong in peace, winning by embrace what the warrior wins by strife.
