tegwick 2d1282a61e 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).

# Co-operation of Labour
## Definition
The interdependent collaboration of many workers across different trades and
locations to produce a single finished good. Smith demonstrates that even the
simplest consumer goods in a civilised society require the combined efforts of
thousands of workers — shepherds, miners, sailors, smiths, weavers — who
collectively make possible what no individual could achieve alone.
## Source Chapter
Book I, Chapter 1: "Of the Division of Labour"
## Context
Smith's extended example of the day-labourer's woollen coat serves to illustrate
the vast scope of co-operation. He traces the supply chain from raw materials
through manufacture and transport to show that civilised consumption depends on
an immense network of specialised, interdependent labour.
## Economic Domain
Production
## Smith's Original Wording
"Without the assistance and co-operation of many thousands, the very meanest
person in a civilized country could not be provided, even according to, what we
very falsely imagine, the easy and simple manner in which he is commonly
accommodated."
