Add Lexe case study with architecture diagram#312
Conversation
Add a case study covering how Lexe runs self-custodial Lightning nodes inside Intel SGX secure enclaves using LDK, and wire its case study link into the existing Lexe entry on the case studies page. Recreate the "Lexe Architecture with LDK" diagram (from the Claude Design handoff) as an inline-SVG Vue component embedded in the post. Adapted for this site: theming follows the global light/dark switch (html.dark) rather than a standalone toggle, and the dark figure blends with the theme background with no outline.

Swap Lexe in for Bitkit in the featured row (Bitkit stays in the full grid). Lexe's logo is a white wordmark on a dark tile, which reads on the light page but vanishes on the dark page, so add an invertOnDark flag — reusing the home-page logo-strip convention — to invert it in dark mode.

Would it be possible to use this version instead? This is the original version that I wrote and polished, and it's the version we host on our blog. It has more a direct, confident, sharp technical tone while the one on the Spiral blog reads as if it was rewritten and flattened out by an LLM, and loses my voice. Feel free to make edits as needed though, for example if you want to remove the My original:

@ConorOkus I DM'd you some rounded square logos on Discord which are more suitable to use than the one in the preview:

Cool architecture diagram; it's visually appealing and better than ours. Some nits:
You can compare with the original one from our blog, which is not as pretty but is a bit more accurate. 
If you'd like to work off of our original, (we built it in Google Slides), I shared a Google Slides presentation to your Spiral email @ConorOkus |
