Notes and record state

Record note
Terminal handling uses the 2021-04-26 public dead-side marker. Death reason is mapped to voluntary_shutdown because the platform published a cessation notice citing financial strain and stating that it had decided to cease activities. HEI keeps the closure-note date as the terminal marker rather than the later reporting and investigation timeline.
Revision state
Records may be incomplete, approximate, contested, or revised as better evidence becomes available.
