Notes and record state

Record note
Modeled as hybrid because sources describe Rhea as both a primary DEX and lending / DeFi hub for NEAR. Do not mark dead: current evidence supports exploit and withdrawal-halt events but not a terminal shutdown. Loss figures vary across early reports and later post-mortem analysis; keep amount language in event descriptions rather than hard numeric fields.
Revision state
