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 Angel
Seheiah closes in *-iah* and is glossed “God who heals the sick,” though his fuller domain is longevity and the preservation of life against sudden catastrophe. He is the angel invoked against fire, collapse, lightning, and every abrupt calamity that would cut a life short before its measure — the guardian who covers the frail hour and lets the body endure to its proper term.
His virtue is health understood as durability: not the fevered vitality of the young but the seasoned constitution that weathers illness, accident, and age without shattering. The tradition credits him with prudence and wise self-governance, for the older writers understood that longevity is as much a discipline as a gift — the fruit of moderation, of not spending oneself recklessly, of tending the flame rather than letting it flare and gutter. Seheiah grants recovery from sickness, protection in disaster, and the calm foresight that avoids the danger before it arrives. To petition him is to ask for time — not the anxious hoarding of years, but the settled assurance that one's life will run its full course, and the temperance to make that course worth running. He is the angel of the survived crisis, the healed body, the long and deliberate flame.
