description	Ingest a source into the wiki — read it, create a source-summary page, propagate claims into concept/entity pages, update index and log.

Ingest a source

Read the source material provided by the user (URL, file path, or pasted text). Then:

1. Save the raw source into raw/ as an immutable document.
2. Create a source-summary page at wiki/sources/<slug>.md with frontmatter (type, date, author, url, raw). If the raw source references images (by filename or path), run find . -name "<filename>" (or use the Glob tool) to locate the actual file in the repo, copy it to wiki/assets/, and embed it in the summary page as ![alt](assets/filename.png). If the image isn't found locally, link via the URL if one is available. Images make source pages far more useful to browse.
3. Propagate claims — update or create concept/entity pages at the wiki/ root that are affected by this source. Cite the source inline with ([[slug]]).
4. Cross-link aggressively — this is the step most often skipped and the most important:
   • Read wiki/index.md to find every page related to the new material.
   • Add [[wikilinks]] FROM existing pages TO the new pages. Open 2-3 related existing pages and edit them to reference the new content where it's relevant.
   • Add [[wikilinks]] FROM new pages TO existing pages. Every new page should link out to related concepts, entities, and sources already in the wiki.
   • The goal: no orphans. Every new page should have inbound links from existing pages AND outbound links to them.
5. Update wiki/index.md — add the new page(s) to the catalog with one-line summaries.
6. Update wiki/home.md — if the new source materially changes the narrative or adds a new theme, revise home.md. Don't wait for the wiki to be "complete."
7. Append to wiki/log.md — add a timestamped entry: ## [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM] ingest | <title>.

After ingesting, report what pages were created or updated, and list the cross-links added (which existing pages now link to the new content).
