feat(llm): add OpenAI adapter, entity archive policy, process chapters 5-7

Add OpenAIAdapter for the OpenAI chat completions API (apikey-chatgpt.txt
or OPENAI_API_KEY). Set default model to arcee-ai/trinity-large-preview:free
for the infospace pipeline and increase max_tokens from 4096 to 8192.

Reprocess chapter 05 with Trinity Large (was Gemini: 1 truncated entity,
now 19 complete entities). Process chapters 06 (Aurora Alpha, 10 entities)
and 07 (Trinity Large, 15 entities including regenerated violent-policy.md).
Canonical set now at 85 unique entities.

Add entity archive policy: entities are never silently deleted. Retired
entities move to output/entities/archive/ with a dated reason header.
New CLI option: --archive-entity <slug> --reason "...". The --list
output shows the archive count alongside the canonical set.

+# accidental-fluctuation
+
+## Definition
+
+Accidental fluctuations are temporary deviations of market prices from natural prices caused by particular accidents, natural causes, or policy regulations that can keep market prices above natural prices for extended periods. These fluctuations affect primarily the wage and profit components of price, while rent components are less affected. They represent temporary market disturbances that eventually self-correct.
+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book 1, Chapter 7: "OF THE NATURAL AND MARKET PRICE OF COMMODITIES."
+
+## Context
+
+Smith identifies various causes of price fluctuations, distinguishing between temporary accidental fluctuations and more permanent effects of monopolies or natural scarcity. He explains how these fluctuations affect different components of price differently and how markets tend to self-correct over time.
+
+## Economic Domain
+
+Exchange
+
+## Smith's Original Wording
+
+"But though the market price of every particular commodity is in this manner continually gravitating, if one may say so, towards the natural price; yet sometimes particular accidents, sometimes natural causes, and sometimes particular regulations of policy, may, in many commodities, keep up the market price, for a long time together, a good deal above the natural price."
+
+## Modern Interpretation
+
+Accidental fluctuations represent the short-term volatility in market prices due to supply and demand imbalances, external shocks, or policy interventions. Understanding these fluctuations is crucial for distinguishing between temporary market movements and fundamental value changes.

+# average-produce
+
+## Definition
+
+Average produce refers to the typical or expected output from a given quantity of industry or labour over time, as opposed to the actual produce which may vary significantly from year to year. This concept is particularly relevant in agriculture where the same number of labourers may produce very different quantities in different years due to natural variations, while manufacturing tends to produce more consistent output.
+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book 1, Chapter 7: "OF THE NATURAL AND MARKET PRICE OF COMMODITIES."
+
+## Context
+
+Smith uses average produce to explain why agricultural commodity prices fluctuate more than manufactured goods prices. He argues that only average produce can be suited to effectual demand, while actual annual variations create temporary surpluses or shortages that cause price fluctuations.
+
+## Economic Domain
+
+Production
+
+## Smith's Original Wording
+
+"But, in some employments, the same quantity of industry will, in different years, produce very different quantities of commodities; while, in others, it will produce always the same, or very nearly the same. The same number of labourers in husbandry will, in different years, produce very different quantities of corn, wine, oil, hops, etc. But the same number of spinners or weavers will every year produce the same, or very nearly the same, quantity of linen and woollen cloth."
+
+## Modern Interpretation
+
+Average produce represents the expected yield from productive activity, accounting for natural variations in output. This concept is fundamental to understanding risk, uncertainty, and price volatility in different sectors of the economy.

+## Definition
+
+The market price of gold and silver in their raw, uncoined form, which fluctuates based on supply and demand conditions in the bullion market.

+
+## Context

+Smith discusses bullion price while explaining the relationship between coin and bullion values and the factors that cause price fluctuations in precious metals. He argues that while market prices of bullion fluctuate due to normal market forces, sustained deviations from the mint price indicate problems with the coinage itself.

+Bullion price represents the commodity value of precious metals independent of their monetary function, reflecting their value as industrial and investment commodities. In modern terms, this concept relates to commodity markets, precious metal trading, and the distinction between monetary and commodity values of precious metals. It underlies modern discussions of commodity pricing, investment in precious metals, and the relationship between commodity and financial markets.

+# capital
+
+**Definition**  
+Capital is the accumulated stock of assets—such as machinery, tools, raw materials, and financial resources—used to produce commodities. It is a factor of production that enables labour to generate output and is the basis for profit generation.
+
+**Source Chapter**  
+*The Wealth of Nations*, Book 1, Chapter 6.
+
+**Context**  
+Smith refers to capital when explaining that “the profits of stock … are greater or smaller in proportion to the extent of this stock,” and when he discusses the “capital which employs the weavers.” Capital is presented as the underlying resource that determines the scale of profit.

+Accumulation
+
+**Smith’s Original Wording**  
+> “The capital which employs the weavers … must be greater than that which employs the spinners … because it not only replaces that capital with its profits, but pays, besides, the wages of the weavers.”
+
+**Modern Interpretation**  
+Capital corresponds to the modern economic concept of physical and financial capital, a primary input in production functions (e.g., Cobb‑Douglas) and a driver of economic growth through investment.

+# central-price
+
+## Definition
+
+The central price is Smith's metaphorical description of the natural price as the gravitational center toward which all commodity prices continually tend, despite temporary deviations caused by accidents, natural causes, or policy regulations.

+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book 1, Chapter 7: "OF THE NATURAL AND MARKET PRICE OF COMMODITIES."
+
+## Context
+
+Smith uses the metaphor of gravitational attraction to describe how market prices, despite temporary fluctuations, tend to return to natural prices over time. This concept reinforces his view of markets as self-regulating systems that naturally move toward equilibrium.
+
+## Economic Domain
+
+General Theory
+
+## Smith's Original Wording
+
+"The natural price, therefore, is, as it were, the central price, to which the prices of all commodities are continually gravitating. Different accidents may sometimes keep them suspended a good deal above it, and sometimes force them down even somewhat below it. But whatever may be the obstacles which hinder them from settling in this centre of repose and continuance, they are constantly tending towards it."
+
+## Modern Interpretation
+
+The central price concept anticipates modern economic theories about market equilibrium and the tendency of prices to return to fundamental values. This gravitational metaphor captures the dynamic stability of competitive markets and their self-correcting properties.

+# command-over-labour
+
+## Definition
+
+The power to direct or purchase the labour of others, which constitutes wealth according to Smith. He argues that a person's wealth is determined by the quantity of labour they can command or afford to purchase, rather than by the mere possession of money or goods. This concept links economic power directly to human productive capacity, suggesting that true wealth is measured by one's ability to mobilize productive resources through the market.
+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book 1, Chapter 5: "OF THE REAL AND NOMINAL PRICE OF COMMODITIES, OR OF THEIR PRICE IN LABOUR, AND THEIR PRICE IN MONEY."
+
+## Context
+
+Smith develops this concept while explaining why labour is the real measure of exchangeable value. He argues that the value of any commodity to someone who possesses it but does not intend to use it is equal to the quantity of labour it enables them to purchase or command. This idea is central to his definition of wealth and connects to his broader analysis of how market economies distribute productive power.

+"The value of any commodity, therefore, to the person who possesses it, and who means not to use or consume it himself, but to exchange it for other commodities, is equal to the quantity of labour which it enables him to purchase or command."
+
+## Modern Interpretation
+
+Command over labour represents economic power in terms of the ability to direct productive resources. In modern terms, this concept relates to purchasing power and the ability to hire workers or contract services. It highlights that wealth is fundamentally about the capacity to mobilize human effort rather than simply owning assets, a principle that remains relevant in discussions of economic inequality and the distribution of productive resources.

+# component part of price
+
+**Definition**  
+A component part of price is one of the distinct elements that together determine the overall monetary value of a commodity. In Smith’s analysis, the price of a commodity is broken down into three primary components: wages of labour, profit of stock, and rent of land. Each component reflects a different source of economic value and is measured by the labour required to acquire or produce the commodity.
+
+**Source Chapter**  
+*The Wealth of Nations*, Book 1, Chapter 6.
+
+**Context**  
+Smith introduces the idea when discussing how the “whole produce of labour” is allocated and how the “price of commodities” resolves into separate parts. He argues that the price is not a single monolithic figure but a composite of labour, profit, and rent.
+
+**Economic Domain**  
+Exchange
+
+**Smith’s Original Wording**  
+> “In the price of commodities, therefore, the profits of stock constitute a component part altogether different from the wages of labour, and regulated by quite different principles.”
+
+**Modern Interpretation**  
+In contemporary economics, this concept aligns with the cost‑structure analysis of a product, where total price = variable costs (labour) + fixed costs (capital profit) + land rent (resource rent). It underpins the decomposition of price into factor‑income components.

+# component-parts-of-price
+
+## Definition
+
+The component parts of price are the three fundamental elements that constitute the total price of any commodity: rent of land, wages of labour, and profits of stock. These represent the shares that must be paid to the respective factors of production to bring the commodity to market at their natural rates. The sum of these components determines the natural price of the commodity.
+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book 1, Chapter 7: "OF THE NATURAL AND MARKET PRICE OF COMMODITIES."
+
+## Context
+
+Smith systematically breaks down the price of commodities into these three fundamental components, showing how each represents a return to a factor of production. He explains how fluctuations in market prices affect these components differently, with rent being least affected by temporary price variations while wages and profits fluctuate more significantly.
+
+## Economic Domain
+
+Distribution
+
+## Smith's Original Wording
+
+"When the price of any commodity is neither more nor less than what is sufficient to pay the rent of the land, the wages of the labour, and the profits of the stock employed in raising, preparing, and bringing it to market, according to their natural rates, the commodity is then sold for what may be called its natural price."
+
+## Modern Interpretation
+
+The three-component theory of price represents Smith's fundamental analysis of value determination. This framework anticipates later theories of factor shares and provides the basis for understanding how different factors of production are compensated in competitive markets.

+# corn-rent
+
+## Definition
+
+A form of rent payment reserved in corn (grain) rather than money, which Smith argues preserves its value much better than money rents over time. Because corn represents a basic necessity of life and its value is more stable relative to labour, corn rents maintain their real value better than monetary rents, which are subject to the degradation of coinage and fluctuations in the value of precious metals.
+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book 1, Chapter 5: "OF THE REAL AND NOMINAL PRICE OF COMMODITIES, OR OF THEIR PRICE IN LABOUR, AND THEIR PRICE IN MONEY."
+
+## Context
+
+Smith introduces corn rent while discussing the superiority of real over nominal value preservation. He notes that rents reserved in corn have preserved their value much better than those reserved in money, even where the denomination of the coin has not been altered. This example illustrates his broader argument about the importance of distinguishing between real and nominal value in economic arrangements.

+"The rents which have been reserved in corn, have preserved their value much better than those which have been reserved in money, even where the denomination of the coin has not been altered."
+
+## Modern Interpretation
+
+Corn rent represents a form of inflation-protected income that maintains its real value by being tied to a basic commodity rather than a fluctuating currency. In modern terms, this concept relates to index-linked payments, cost-of-living adjustments, and other mechanisms designed to preserve the real value of fixed obligations over time. The principle of tying payments to stable commodities rather than volatile currencies remains relevant in modern financial planning.

+# degradation-of-coinage
+
+## Definition
+
+The process by which the quantity of pure metal contained in coins diminishes over time, either through deliberate reduction by authorities or through natural wear and tear. Smith observes that the quantity of metal in coins has almost continually diminished throughout history, rarely increasing, and that this degradation reduces the value of money rents and fixed monetary obligations over time.
+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book 1, Chapter 5: "OF THE REAL AND NOMINAL PRICE OF COMMODITIES, OR OF THEIR PRICE IN LABOUR, AND THEIR PRICE IN MONEY."
+
+## Context
+
+Smith discusses degradation of coinage while explaining why money rents are less reliable than corn rents for preserving value over time. He notes that princes and sovereign states have frequently reduced the quantity of pure metal in their coins, and that natural wear also contributes to this degradation. This concept is part of his broader analysis of how monetary systems can fail to preserve value over time.

+## Economic Domain
+
+Regulation
+
+## Smith's Original Wording
+
+"The quantity of metal contained in the coins, I believe of all nations, has accordingly been almost continually diminishing, and hardly ever augmenting."
+
+## Modern Interpretation
+
+Degradation of coinage represents the historical problem of currency debasement, where the actual precious metal content of money decreases over time. In modern terms, this concept relates to inflation and the erosion of purchasing power, though contemporary currency is typically fiat money rather than metal-based. The principle that monetary systems can lose value over time remains relevant to modern monetary policy and inflation concerns.

+## Definition
+
+Effectual demand is the demand by consumers who are both willing and able to pay the natural price of a commodity - the whole value of rent, wages, and profit required to bring it to market.

Only effectual demand can effectuate the supply of a commodity.

He contrasts it with absolute demand to show that economic power, not just desire, drives market outcomes. The relationship between effectual demand and market supply determines whether market prices rise above or fall below natural prices.

+"Such people may be called the effectual demanders, and their demand the effectual demand; since it may be sufficient to effectuate the bringing of the commodity to market. It is different from the absolute demand. A very poor man may be said, in some sense, to have a demand for a coach and six; he might like to have it; but his demand is not an effectual demand, as the commodity can never be brought to market in order to satisfy it."

+## Smith's Original Wording
+
+"Some natural productions require such a singularity of soil and situation, that all the land in a great country, which is fit for producing them, may not be sufficient to supply the effectual demand. The whole quantity brought to market, therefore, may be disposed of to those who are willing to give more than what is sufficient to pay the rent of the land which produced them, together with the wages of the labour and the profits of the stock which were employed in preparing and bringing them to market, according to their natural rates. Such commodities may continue for whole centuries together to be sold at this high price."
+
+## Modern Interpretation
+
+Permanent enhancements represent structural market inefficiencies that persist due to natural resource constraints or artificial market power. These concepts are central to understanding long-term price determination and the welfare effects of monopoly and natural resource economics.

+# power-of-purchasing
+
+## Definition
+
+The capacity to acquire goods and services through exchange, determined by the quantity of labour one's possessions can command. Smith argues that the exchangeable value of any commodity is precisely equal to the extent of the power it conveys to its owner to purchase labour or the produce of labour in the market. This concept links economic value directly to the ability to mobilize productive resources through exchange.

+## Context
+
+Smith develops this concept while explaining why labour is the real measure of exchangeable value. He argues that the power which possession of a fortune immediately conveys is the power of purchasing a certain command over all the labour or produce of labour in the market. This idea is central to his definition of wealth and connects to his broader analysis of how market economies distribute productive power.

+## Definition
+
+The real price of any commodity is the toil and trouble of acquiring it, or the quantity of labour which it can command or enable the possessor to purchase. This represents the actual cost in terms of human effort and sacrifice required to obtain something, as opposed to its nominal or monetary price. Smith argues that labour is the only universal and accurate measure of value because equal quantities of labour always have equal value to the labourer, regardless of time or place.

He contrasts real price with nominal price (price in money), arguing that while people commonly estimate value by monetary price, labour is the true measure because it reflects the actual human effort required. This concept is central to his argument that labour, not money, is the original and universal standard by which all commodities should be valued.
