Notes and record state

Record note
Terminal handling uses 2015-11-15 because Yacuna's customer email instructed users to withdraw funds before that date. Death reason is mapped to voluntary_shutdown because the closure was orderly and publicly explained as a low-volume / below-expectations growth decision rather than insolvency, theft, or enforcement. Launch date uses a conservative month-level marker from CoinDesk's statement that London-based Yacuna launched in September 2014.
