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).

Agriculture
Definition
The sector of production concerned with the cultivation of land and the raising of crops and livestock. Smith argues that agriculture does not admit of as many subdivisions of labour as manufactures, because seasonal rhythms prevent workers from specialising year-round in a single task. As a result, agricultural productivity improves less dramatically with the division of labour than manufacturing productivity.
Source Chapter
Book I, Chapter 1: "Of the Division of Labour"
Context
Agriculture is introduced as a counterpoint to manufactures. Smith notes that the ploughman, harrower, sower, and reaper are often the same person, and that this is why even rich countries do not surpass poor countries in agricultural output as dramatically as in manufacturing output.

Smith's Original Wording
"The nature of agriculture, indeed, does not admit of so many subdivisions of labour, nor of so complete a separation of one business from another, as manufactures."
