Swap published columns for 24 entries from random.md
Retract the seven published columns into drafts/ and promote the 24 per-date
entries split out of Notes/random.md. Bodies are verbatim; titles, subjects
and slugs are new.

Make publication a matter of location. Notes/Notes.11tydata.js gives anything
under Notes/ permalink: false unless tagged `column`; drafts/drafts.11tydata.js
renders drafts at their real permalink under `yarn dev` and excludes them from
collections entirely in a build, so no template can surface one. Publishing is
now `git mv drafts/<file> columns/`, and moving it back retracts it.

Untagged notes were previously rendered into _site/ and deployed — including
Notes/random.md, which was live at /Notes/random/.

/columns/<year>/<slug>/

Open in the middle of the thought. No headline restated, no throat-clearing — column.njk renders title as the h1 already, and the shortest columns are a single unbroken paragraph that starts where the idea starts and stops when it runs out.

Copy this to drafts/-.md and fill the front matter in. It renders at its real permalink on the dev server and nowhere else. Publishing is git mv drafts/<file> columns/ — the front matter is already complete, so leaving this directory is the whole act, and moving it back retracts it.
