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).

# Common Stock
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
|
|
The aggregate pool of goods and services created when individuals bring
|
|
their diverse specialised products together through exchange. Smith argues
|
|
that among humans, unlike animals, different talents are made useful to
|
|
one another because their products can be "brought, as it were, into a
|
|
common stock, where every man may purchase whatever part of the produce
|
|
of other men's talents he has occasion for." This common stock is the
|
|
emergent result of widespread exchange among specialised producers.

## Source Chapter
|
|
|
|
Book I, Chapter 2: "Of the Principle which gives Occasion to the Division
|
|
of Labour"
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
Appears in the chapter's concluding argument comparing humans and animals.
|
|
While a mastiff cannot benefit from a greyhound's speed due to lack of
|
|
exchange, humans can pool their different abilities through trade, making
|
|
all talents contribute to the general welfare.
