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).

Manufactures
Definition
The sector of production in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods through a series of distinct operations, each typically performed by specialised workers. Smith contrasts manufactures with agriculture, noting that the former admits of far greater subdivision of labour and separation of trades, and therefore exhibits far greater improvements in productive power.
Source Chapter
Book I, Chapter 1: "Of the Division of Labour"
Context
Manufactures serve as the primary setting for Smith's analysis of the division of labour. The pin factory is a manufacture; so are the linen, woollen, and hardware trades he references. Smith uses the greater divisibility of manufacturing work to explain why rich countries excel more conspicuously over poor countries in manufactures than in agriculture.
