feat(infospace): flat canonical entity set with cross-chapter deduplication
Restructure entity storage from per-chapter subdirectories to a flat
canonical set in output/entities/. Each entity exists as a single file;
duplicates across chapters are detected by slug collision and skipped
(first occurrence wins). Chapter views use {{ include }} transclusion
to reference shared entity files.
Add @{existing_entities} macro to extract-entities template so the LLM
knows which entities already exist and focuses on genuinely new ones.
Refactor _call_llm() from _execute_llm() for callers that handle their
own file I/O. 41 unique entities from 4 chapters (2 duplicates removed).

# Division of Labour
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The separation of a work process into a number of distinct tasks, each performed
|
||||
by a specialised worker, resulting in a significant increase in the productive
|
||||
powers of labour. Smith identifies it as the principal cause of improvement in
|
||||
the productive capacity of any trade, art, or manufacture. The effect arises
|
||||
from three circumstances: increased dexterity, saved time in transition between
|
||||
tasks, and the invention of labour-saving machinery.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book I, Chapter 1: "Of the Division of Labour"
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
The division of labour is the central argument of the chapter. Smith opens by
|
||||
asserting that it is the greatest source of improvement in productive powers,
|
||||
then illustrates it through the pin-factory example, explains its three causal
|
||||
mechanisms, and concludes by showing how it generates universal opulence through
|
||||
exchange.
|
||||
|
||||
## Economic Domain
|
||||
|
||||
Production
|
||||
|
||||
## Smith's Original Wording
|
||||
|
||||
"The greatest improvements in the productive powers of labour, and the greater
|
||||
part of the skill, dexterity, and judgment, with which it is anywhere directed,
|
||||
or applied, seem to have been the effects of the division of labour."
|
||||
|
||||
## Modern Interpretation
|
||||
|
||||
The division of labour remains a foundational concept in economics and
|
||||
organisational theory. Modern extensions include specialisation theory,
|
||||
comparative advantage (Ricardo), and the study of transaction costs that
|
||||
determine the boundaries between internal division and market exchange (Coase).
