Notes and record state

Record note
HEI uses 2023-11-01 as a month-level beta-launch marker because first-party history identifies November 2023 but does not preserve an exact public beta day. Backpack Wallet and Mad Lads are related products, not separate exchange identities. Backpack EU is modeled as a regional expansion of the same exchange.
