Washington's closed-door panic over Claude Mythos is also a closed-door panic over China

Desk note: Monexus treats the 28 June wire cluster as a single event — a Washington capability panic running in parallel with a Chinese capability proof-point — rather than as two unrelated stories. The structural frame is the contest between a closing capability gap and a widening export-control perimeter, with the perimeter losing.
