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.

# Damabiah
> *“Wisdom rises where the deep waters gather.”*
---
## The Angel
Damabiah is rendered *God the fountain of wisdom*, and its imagery is aqueous throughout: the root evokes the source, the wellspring, the flowing deep, and the divine suffix *-iah* seals it with the presence of *Yah*. It is the angel of the waters — of the sea and the enterprises undertaken upon it, of rivers and their commerce, of every human endeavour that trusts itself to the current. But the wisdom it dispenses is not merely nautical craft; it is the deeper sense of knowing how to move with a force greater than oneself, how to read the tides of a situation and set one's sail accordingly.
The virtue Damabiah bestows is protective foresight over ventures that risk the deep. It shields travellers by water, favours maritime and commercial undertakings, and is invoked against the schemes of sorcerers and against the loss of fortune in a single catastrophic wave. More inwardly, it grants access to the fountain itself — the sense that wisdom is not a possession to be accumulated but a spring to be returned to, inexhaustible so long as one keeps coming back to drink. Under its Aquarian governance the water-bearer's vessel is not empty but overflowing, and Damabiah teaches the art of channelling that abundance without being drowned by it.
