Notes and record state

Record note
HEI uses hack as the primary death_reason because the exchange became unavailable following the April 2018 theft of 438.318 BTC. Later compensation-processing reports are preserved as follow-up context. The later coinsecure.exchange domain is not treated as the original exchange.
Revision state
