Notes and record state

Record note

HEI treats the 2022-05-26 Huobi acquisition as the terminal marker for Bitex as an independent exchange identity. Acquisition materials said the Bitex brand and management would continue during integration, so this is modeled as acquired rather than a same-day shutdown. Bitex API documentation remains reachable, but current independent trading operation was not verified; official_url_status is therefore live_unverified.
