Struct KnowledgeBase 

pub struct KnowledgeBase { /* private fields */ }

Markdown knowledge base application layer.

Wraps VirtualFs for sandboxed file I/O, BacklinkIndex for link tracking, and provides all app-layer features (chat, journal, habits, checklist, etc.).

No kernel dependencies. Can be used standalone by any channel.
