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).

Surplus Produce
Definition
The portion of a worker's output that exceeds their own consumption needs and is therefore available for exchange. Smith argues that the certainty of being able to exchange surplus produce for the products of other workers' labour is what encourages every person to dedicate themselves to a particular occupation. Surplus is thus both the material prerequisite and the incentive for specialisation.
Source Chapter
Book I, Chapter 2: "Of the Principle which gives Occasion to the Division of Labour"
Context
Introduced in the passage describing the emergence of specialised trades in a tribal society. The armourer, carpenter, smith, and tanner each produce more of their specialty than they can personally consume, and exchange the surplus for other goods, reinforcing their commitment to specialisation.

Smith's Original Wording
"And thus the certainty of being able to exchange all that surplus part of the produce of his own labour, which is over and above his own consumption, for such parts of the produce of other men's labour as he may have occasion for, encourages every man to apply himself to a particular occupation."
