Mechanism Edge Creation
Create an edge representing a causal mechanism between two variables.
Tool
vault_add_edge
Protocol
- Verify both variable pages exist
- Determine edge type: derived_from (direct causation), component_of (mediating variable)
- Call vault_add_edge with appropriate weight (strength of mechanism)
- Document mechanism description in the source variable's page body
- Inline wikilink: Ensure the source page contains
[[dir/slug]]pointing to the target (dir/slug = target path minus.md). Place inline where the mechanism is documented. If already present, skip.

Returns: { success: boolean, mechanism: string, weight: number }
