Notes and record state

Record note

HEI models CHBTC as rebranded rather than dead because multiple profile sources describe the China-market trading stop followed by a name change / overseas transition to ZB.com. The death_date is stored as 2017-12-31 as an end-of-year brand-transition marker, while the 2017-09-30 China-market trading stop is recorded as a separate regulatory event.
