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.

Daniel

Mercy is only justice that has learned to speak gently.


The Angel

As the fiftieth name of the Shem ha-Mephorash, Daniel (דָּנִיאֵל) joins the root din, "judgement," to the suffix -el, "God," giving "the Sign of Mercies" or, in its plainer sense, "God is my judge." This is the Shem-angel of the fifth to tenth degrees of Sagittarius, not the prophet or any other bearer of the name; here Daniel is one of the seventy-two rays lifted from the letters of Exodus 14:19–21, the point where the severity of judgement is softened into clemency.

Daniel's virtue is eloquence, mercy, and consolation. He grants persuasive and comforting speech — the gift of the advocate, the counsellor, the writer whose words console rather than wound — and he inclines those in authority toward leniency. Where strict justice would condemn, Daniel supplies the mitigating word, the extenuating circumstance, the reason for mercy. The tradition sets him over those who must decide the fates of others and over any who make their living by the honest use of language. Positioned in the archer's early degrees, where Sagittarius turns its love of truth toward teaching and law, Daniel keeps eloquence tethered to compassion. To invoke him is to ask for words that heal, judgements that spare, and the consolation that lets a person bear what cannot be changed.
