Summary

Two long-standing bugs in the Obsidian export cause /graphify output to form disconnected components when it lands in a vault. On one real-world vault (4549 notes, 6 graphify projects) the bugs produced 52 connected components with ~21% of nodes (945/4549) stranded in 51 islands. After this PR re-runs of the same projects produce 1 component, 100% of nodes reachable from `master_index.md`.

Bug 1 — `safe_name()` produces `.md.md` filenames

Both `safe_name()` helpers in `export.py` (inside `to_obsidian` and `to_canvas`) sanitize unsafe chars but do not strip trailing `.md`/`.mdx`/`.markdown`. When a node label happens to be a markdown filename (e.g. `CLAUDE.md`, `Guidelines.md` — which is common when graphify ingests a `CLAUDE.md` project file), the caller then appends `.md` to the result and writes a file named `CLAUDE.md.md`. Meanwhile the wikilinks written inside other notes are `[[CLAUDE.md]]`, which Obsidian resolves to the non-existent `CLAUDE.md` — so every incoming link breaks.

Bug 2 — `GRAPH_REPORT.md` has zero wikilinks to community hubs

`report.py`'s `generate()` emits community headings as plain prose:

```

Community 15 - "Haptics"

Cohesion: 0.25
Nodes (8): PFFTHaptics, ...
```

No wikilinks to the `_COMMUNITY_Haptics.md` hub that `to_obsidian` actually writes. Once `GRAPH_REPORT.md` is copied into a vault as `-graph-report.md`, it becomes a dead-end — the community subgraph it describes is unreachable from it, and the whole project cluster splits off into its own connected component.

Changes

`graphify/export.py`

Both `safe_name()` helpers now strip trailing Markdown extensions after the existing unsafe-char / newline sanitization:

```python
cleaned = re.sub(r"\.(md|mdx|markdown)$", "", cleaned, flags=re.IGNORECASE)
```

Idempotent and safe — normal node labels (`Haptics`, `useFormField()`, `Friends & Badges UI`) pass through unchanged; only labels ending in a markdown extension get their extension stripped.

`graphify/report.py`

1. Added a module-level `_safe_community_name()` that mirrors `export.safe_name`, so community hub filenames written by `to_obsidian` and link targets written by the report always agree.
2. Added a `## Community Hubs (Navigation)` section right after `## Summary` that emits `[[COMMUNITY|]]` for every detected community.
3. Upgraded each `### Community N` heading to embed the same wikilink, so either entry point (the nav block or the community walkthrough) reaches the hub.

Before / after on one real vault

Test plan

• Syntax check: `python3 -c "from graphify.report import _safe_community_name, generate; from graphify.export import to_obsidian"`
• `_safe_community_name('CLAUDE.md')` → `'CLAUDE'`
• `_safe_community_name('Guidelines.md')` → `'Guidelines'`
• `_safe_community_name('Haptics')` → `'Haptics'` (unchanged)
• `_safe_community_name('Friends & Badges UI')` → `'Friends & Badges UI'` (unchanged)
• `generate()` on a 3-node fixture produces `## Community Hubs (Navigation)` section with `[[_COMMUNITY_Docs Cluster|Docs Cluster]]` link
• Full regression on a medium corpus (deferred to reviewer if available)

Notes

• The `communities` dict is iterated in its native insertion order for the navigation block; if deterministic ordering matters you may want to sort by `cid`.
• No changes to graph data, extraction, or cluster detection — only the Markdown emission layer.
• Fully backwards-compatible: an existing vault whose graph-report was already curated with inline links will simply gain a second navigation block and linked community headings.
