Extract.py was discarding LLM-provided connections — related_claims went into
frontmatter as wiki-links but supports/challenges/depends_on from the
connections field were ignored entirely. This is the primary driver of 50%+
orphan ratio.
Now: connections[] → typed edge fields (supports/challenges/related) in YAML
frontmatter. related_claims fall back to related edges. Post-write
connect_new_claims() adds vector-search edges for claims the LLM missed.
