Notes and record state

Record note

HEI models 796 Exchange as inactive rather than dead because the current evidence set supports historical operation and a major 2015 incident, but does not establish a definitive shutdown announcement or terminal date. Launch date uses the 2013-06-09 public-launch marker referenced from the official Bitcointalk announcement context.
