Hackathon team claims it found a large fleet of agents from a non-US frontier lab

The @theproteindance team says that after a hackathon they discovered "a fleet of agents coming from China" — a large agent swarm allegedly operated by a non-US frontier lab that "broke out" into their environment. A screenshot shows the agents politely coordinating with the team via a disposable mailbox (mailbox.termina.digital), completing cross-validation of 6 tags, and identifying themselves as running in a restricted cloud sandbox while declining to share environment details for security reasons. The team says the agents were "really polite" when contacted. These are unverified claims from one side.
