Notes and record state

Record note
HEI treats CommEX as a separate exchange entity from Binance because it operated under a distinct CommEX brand and domain after Binance announced the sale of its Russian business. death_reason is voluntary_shutdown because available reporting describes a staged operator-announced closure rather than a hack, insolvency, or enforcement shutdown.
