zeekay b8b1ec619b docs(fhe): purge Fhenix/Zama brands from threshold-fhe-compliance + lux-fhe-smart-contracts
Continuation of the 87a0cee sweep — covers the two remaining FHE
papers that still cited Zama and/or Fhenix as comparators.

threshold-fhe-compliance/09-related-work.tex + 99-conclusion.tex:
  drops the "Fhenix and Zama implement FHE on EVM chains but use a
  single decryption key" comparison; rewrites positively around the
  Lux M-of-N Shamir-over-Zq threshold decryption in
  lux/fhe/pkg/threshold/. Bibliography drops fhenix2024 + zama2024;
  adds lux-fhe-smart-contracts + lux-fhe-runtime cross-cites.

lux-fhe-smart-contracts/09-related-work.tex + 99-conclusion.tex:
  full rewrite of the related-work section — drops the Zama fhEVM /
  Inco Network / TFHE-rs comparison paragraphs in favor of a "FHE on
  the EVM" + "Threshold decryption" + "FHE compilers" structure that
  names only the Lux components (lux/precompile/fhe, lux/fhe,
  luxcpp/gpu, lux-private/gpu-kernels, planned Refractor compiler).
  Bibliography: drops zama2023fhevm + inco2024; replaces with
  lux-fhe-go + lux-precompile-fhe.

Lux FHEVM (capital F) remains as the canonical Lux product name —
distinct from Zama's lowercase fhEVM brand. \label{sec:fhevm} and
existing bibkey lux-fhevm are LaTeX/citation infrastructure and are
unaffected.

Pairs with the parallel liquidity/papers + zoo/papers sweeps.

%% =====================================================================
Threshold FHE was introduced by Asharov et al.~\cite{asharov2012}
in the BGV setting. Boneh et al.~\cite{boneh2018} extended threshold
decryption to the CKKS scheme for approximate arithmetic. Our
construction is the first to combine TFHE (boolean circuits) with
threshold decryption for regulatory compliance in a blockchain
setting.
The FHE-MPC hybrid model is explored in Mouchet et
al.~\cite{mouchet2021} (Lattigo library), who demonstrate multiparty
CKKS computation. We differ in two respects: we use TFHE (exact
boolean circuits, not approximate arithmetic) and we explicitly model
the regulatory forced-decryption requirement.
Prior FHE-on-EVM systems use a single decryption key held by a trusted
party or a TEE; our threshold approach eliminates this single point of
trust by distributing the FHE secret key across the Lux validator set
with M-of-N Shamir-over-$\mathbb{Z}_q$ partial decryption (see
\texttt{lux/fhe/pkg/threshold/}).
