# Metamorph

Collaborative purple-team platform. Red team logs the tests they execute (procedure, command, timestamp); blue team annotates each test with detection evidence (alerts, logs, files). At the end of an engagement, Metamorph generates a standalone reveal.js slide deck classified by MITRE ATT&CK tactic.

> **Status**: M0 (bootstrap). See `tasks/spec.md` for the full specification and `tasks/todo.md` for the milestone-by-milestone plan.

## Stack

- **Backend**: Python 3.12, Flask 3, SQLAlchemy 2 + Alembic (M1+), PostgreSQL 16.
- **Frontend**: React 18 + TypeScript + Vite + TailwindCSS (RTOps design tokens, see `tasks/design.md`).
- **Auth (M2+)**: JWT access (1h) + refresh (30d), Argon2id, invite-link enrollment.
- **Delivery**: docker-compose. TLS termination is expected to be handled by an external reverse proxy in production.

## Quickstart

Works with **Docker** *or* **Podman**. The Makefile auto-detects the available engine and picks the matching compose driver (`docker compose`, `podman compose`, or `podman-compose`).

Requires one of:

- Docker Engine 24+ with the Compose v2 plugin, **or**
- Podman 4.0+ with `podman compose` (or the legacy `podman-compose` ≥ 1.0.6)

```bash
git clone <this repo>
cd Metamorph
make engine               # confirm which engine the Makefile picked up
make env                  # creates .env from .env.example
$EDITOR .env              # set strong values for POSTGRES_PASSWORD and JWT_SECRET
make up                   # builds and starts api + db + front
make logs                 # tail logs
```

Override the auto-detection if you have both engines installed:

```bash
make up ENGINE=podman                       # force podman + auto-pick its compose driver
make up ENGINE=docker COMPOSE="docker compose"
COMPOSE=podman-compose make up              # force the legacy wrapper specifically
```

Then:

- Front: <http://localhost:8080>
- API health: <http://localhost:8080/api/v1/health> (proxied) or <http://localhost:8000/api/v1/health>

To stop:

```bash
make down            # keep volumes
make clean           # also drop volumes (DESTRUCTIVE)
```

## Local dev (no Docker)

Requires:

- [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) for Python deps
- Node.js 20+ and `npm`
- A reachable Postgres (or `make up db` to run only the db container)

```bash
make dev-api     # in one terminal
make dev-front   # in another
```

## Environment variables

See `.env.example`. The most important ones:

| Variable           | Purpose                                              |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
| `APP_ENV`          | `dev` allows placeholder secrets; anything else (prod/staging) refuses to boot with defaults |
| `POSTGRES_*`       | DB credentials (used by `db` and `api`)              |
| `JWT_SECRET`       | HS256 signing key — generate 64+ random bytes (`python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(64))"`) |
| `LOG_LEVEL`        | `DEBUG` / `INFO` / `WARNING` / `ERROR`               |
| `FRONT_ORIGIN`     | Allowed CORS origin for the SPA                      |
| `EVIDENCE_DIR`     | Path inside the api container where uploads land     |
| `HOST_API_PORT`    | Host port mapped to the api (default 8000)           |
| `HOST_FRONT_PORT`  | Host port mapped to the front nginx (default 8080)   |

## Testing

- **Manual + automated checklist for the current milestone**: see [`tasks/testing-m<N>.md`](tasks/testing-m0.md) (currently `testing-m0.md`).
- **Backend unit tests**: `make test-api`
- **End-to-end (Playwright)**: `make e2e-install` (once), then `make up && make e2e`. Reports land in `e2e/playwright-report/` (HTML + JUnit XML); open with `make e2e-report`.

## Pre-commit hooks

After cloning, install hooks once:

```bash
pipx install pre-commit   # or: pip install --user pre-commit
pre-commit install
pre-commit run --all-files   # initial sweep
```

The hooks run `ruff` + `ruff-format` on the backend and `eslint` / `tsc --noEmit` / `prettier --check` on the frontend (see `.pre-commit-config.yaml`).
