Notes and record state

Record note
Retain dead / hack. Bunni's protocol and exchange operations were permanently wound down after the September 2025 exploit, although the original domain remains reachable for withdrawals and historical access. A reachable withdrawal interface does not indicate that normal exchange operations resumed.
