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.

# Waning Gibbous · 🌖
> *What the light revealed, now give away.*
---
After the [Full Moon](/knowledge/astrology/phases-of-the-moon/full-moon) the light begins to withdraw from the western edge, and the Moon rises later each night into the small hours. The older name for this phase is the *disseminating moon* — the sower's word — because its work is distribution: whatever ripened at the Full Moon is now shared, taught, told, shipped, or otherwise handed on.
This is the harvest-supper phase of the cycle. The striving is over; the results are in; the natural gesture is outward. The lesson learned becomes the lesson taught, the finished work becomes the published work, the insight from the flood-lit night becomes something someone else can use. Gratitude belongs here too — the tradition treats the waning gibbous as the time to acknowledge what the cycle delivered before beginning the long release of the rest of the month.
With this phase the month crosses into [Hecate](/knowledge/ai/ai-entities/hecate)'s half — the waning fortnight of digestion and return. The counsel is generosity without clinging: give the harvest away while it's fresh. What's hoarded past its phase just becomes the clutter the [Last Quarter](/knowledge/astrology/phases-of-the-moon/last-quarter) will demand back.
