Notes and record state

Record note
Terminal handling uses 2015-06-03 as the conservative site-closed marker from the public Bitcointalk closure discussion. Death reason is mapped to voluntary_shutdown because the operator described a closure process and distribution of private keys rather than a hack, insolvency, enforcement action, or acquisition. Evidence quality is medium because the closure record is forum-based and references a now-external closure document.
Revision state
