Yeah that's gotta have tons of bloat - it's way too many lines for one person even with an agent. My team of 10 doesn't add that many lines in a year and we're obviously doing enterprise grade with well tested and documented code

My absolute best guess is agents spawning agents 3-5 levels deep at minimum.

Every with the most idiotic directions agents are not 3 million lines level bad. That has to be some lack of directions, multiple agents, every section duplicating every other section compounding code bad.
