Description

This PR addresses issue #1569 by updating the legacy Twitter branding to X and slack logo in the site header.

Technical Approach:
Since the site relies on Font Awesome 4.1.0 (which predates the X rebrand), upgrading the entire font library to v6 introduces a high risk of breaking existing icons due to CSS namespace changes (e.g., fa vs fa-brands).

To keep the scope isolated and safe, I replaced the <i class="fa fa-twitter"></i> tags with a clean, inline SVG of the official X logo.

Changes included:

  • Replaced legacy Font Awesome 4 Twitter icons with a scalable inline SVG.
  • Styled the SVG with width="1em", height="1em", and fill="currentColor" to perfectly inherit the existing layout dimensions, colors, and hover states of the adjacent social icons.
  • Updated all anchor href URLs from twitter.com to x.com.
