Format: [Keep a Cha ## [Unreleased] +### Added — M4 (MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise) +- **STIX 2.1 parser + upsert** (`app/services/mitre_seed.py`): stdlib-only (`urllib.request` + `hashlib`), pinned to Enterprise v19.0 (`enterprise-attack-19.0.json`, sha256 `df520ea0…`). Parses 25k+ STIX objects → 15 tactics, 222 techniques, 475 sub-techniques in ~1.1 s. Skips revoked + deprecated, resolves sub-technique parents via `relationship[subtechnique-of]` with a `T1003.001 → T1003` dotted-id fallback, copies kill-chain phases into the `mitre_technique_tactics` M2M. +- **CLI**: `flask metamorph seed-mitre [--source ] [--checksum-sha256 ] [--skip-checksum]` (`app/cli.py`). `make seed-mitre` wraps it. +- **REST endpoints** (`app/api/mitre.py`): + - `GET /api/v1/mitre/tactics`, `/mitre/techniques?tactic=…&q=…`, `/mitre/subtechniques?technique=…&q=…` (paginated, search on name/external_id). + - `GET /api/v1/mitre/status` (last_sync, version, source_url, defaults). + - `POST /api/v1/mitre/sync` (perm `mitre.sync`) — re-pull on demand. +- **Persisted metadata** in `settings`: `mitre_last_sync`, `mitre_version`, `mitre_source_url`. +- **Compose volume `metamorph_mitre`** mounted at `/data/mitre/` in the api container — caches the downloaded bundle across restarts. Owned by `metamorph:metamorph`. +- **Frontend**: + - `` component: flat ATT&CK matrix matching `attack.mitre.org/#` — full-bleed beyond `max-w-page`, 15 equal-width columns via `grid-template-columns: repeat(N, minmax(7rem, 1fr))`, sans-serif 12px, **name-only cells** (external_id surfaces on hover via `title` and in selection chips), `▸/▾` chevron expands sub-techniques inline within the column, multi-select with chip-removal at the top. Returns `MitreTag[]` (`kind`, `id`, `external_id`, `name`), ready for M5 templates. + - `/mitre` showcase page with status card, admin-gated **Trigger sync** button, the picker, and a JSON `
` preview of the current selection.
+  - Nav adds **MITRE** link for any logged-in user.
+- **Testing**:
+  - `backend/tests/test_mitre.py` — **12 pytest** (parser, idempotence, checksum mismatch, persisted settings, endpoint variants, perm enforcement) using a hand-crafted minimal STIX bundle (no network in tests).
+  - `e2e/tests/m4-mitre.spec.ts` — **6 Playwright** against the live stack (calls `/mitre/sync` once in `beforeAll`).
+  - `tasks/testing-m4.md`.
+
+### Fixed (post-M4 spec-review pass)
+- **Sync integrity guarantee**: `seed_mitre()` now refuses a custom URL without either `expected_sha256` or an explicit `allow_unverified=true`. Closes a "typo in `mitre_source_url` setting routes the seed to attacker JSON" footgun. CLI surfaces this via `--checksum-sha256` / `--skip-checksum`; API via `{"source", "expected_sha256", "allow_unverified"}` body.
+- **`/diag/reset` consistency**: now truncates the `mitre_*` tables alongside `settings` so `GET /mitre/status` and `GET /mitre/tactics` agree after a reset (previously: catalogue rows persisted, but `mitre_last_sync` got wiped → status lied).
+- **Spec drift §10 #4**: amended "14 tactics" → "≥ 14 tactics (v19 ships 15)" to reflect MITRE v8+ reality.
+
+### Fixed (post-M4 code-review pass)
+- **SSRF allowlist on `/mitre/sync`**: host must be in `MITRE_ALLOWED_HOSTS` (defaults to `raw.githubusercontent.com`, comma-separated env override). Closes the "admin holding `mitre.sync` can pivot the api container at cloud metadata (`169.254.169.254`) or internal mirrors" vector. New `MitreSourceForbidden` exception → 400 with `source_forbidden` error code.
+- **Concurrent sync race**: `seed_mitre()` now acquires `pg_advisory_xact_lock(hashtext('mitre.seed'))` at the top of the transaction so two `/mitre/sync` calls serialise cleanly across the `DELETE` + re-`INSERT` of `mitre_technique_tactics`.
+- **Typed sync contract end-to-end**: Pydantic `SyncResultOut` on the backend (`app/api/mitre.py`) mirrored by a `MitreSyncResult` TS interface (`frontend/src/lib/mitre.ts`). The MitrePage mutation no longer uses an `as Record` escape hatch.
+- **N+1 in dotted sub-technique fallback**: pre-built `{external_id → id}` dict at function entry; was firing one extra SELECT per orphan (currently 0 with MITRE, but a latent footgun for partial bundles).
+- **`SETTING_VERSION` cleared explicitly when source != default**: previously kept the stale pinned version after a custom-URL re-sync; now `_upsert_setting(..., None)` so `/mitre/status` doesn't lie.
+- **Internal error scrub on `/mitre/sync`**: 500 responses no longer leak URLError / DB driver text via `str(e)` — stack lands in JSON logs only.
+- **E2E pinned to exact MITRE v19 counts** (15/222/475/0 orphans) for parser-regression detection; previously `>=` thresholds could mask "revoked tactics silently included".
+- **E2E uses `crypto.randomUUID()`** instead of `Math.random()` for unique test emails.
+- **Test coverage for security guards**: `file://` rejection, disallowed HTTPS host, custom-URL-without-sha refusal, dotted-id fallback, version-clearing semantics — 5 new pytest covering paths the spec-review demanded but no test enforced.
+
+### Decisions (intentional)
+- **Bundle "embarqué" interpreted as seed-time download + named-volume cache**, not "binary baked into the Docker image". Keeps the image ~150 MB, makes version bumps a constant edit, plays nicely with `make seed-mitre` re-runs. Air-gapped operators copy the file into the volume + pass `--source /data/mitre/`.
+- **Read endpoints unauthenticated-perm-wise but auth-required**: MITRE data is public reference material — no `mitre.read` perm. Status endpoint is similarly open (under `@require_auth`) to keep `/mitre/status` simple for the UI badge.
+- **No `requests` / `httpx` dep added**: stdlib `urllib.request` is enough and avoids inflating the image.
+
+### Validated end-to-end (M4 DoD)
+- `make clean && make up && make migrate && make seed-mitre` → 15 tactics / 222 techniques / 475 sub-techniques / 254 links / 0 orphans / ~1.1 s.
+- `make test-api` → **58 pytest pass** (1 health + 8 schema + 15 auth + 15 RBAC + 19 MITRE) in ~5 s.
+- `make e2e` → **34 Playwright pass** (8 M0 + 4 M1 + 8 M2 + 8 M3 + 6 M4) in ~18 s.
+- Spec-reviewer PASS after fixes applied.
+
 ### Added — M3 (RBAC: groups, permissions, users)
 - **Permission catalogue** (`app/services/permissions_seed.py`): 31 atomic codes across 10 families (`user`, `group`, `invitation`, `test_template`, `scenario_template`, `mission`, `detection_level`, `setting`, `mitre.sync`). Seeded at boot **and** after `/setup` to handle a freshly truncated DB. Idempotent + additive on system groups (never removes a perm).
 - **Default group bindings**: `admin` = all 31 codes; `redteam` = 8 (catalogue read + mission.{read,create,update,archive,write_red_fields} + detection_level.read); `blueteam` = 5 (catalogue read + mission.{read,write_blue_fields} + detection_level.read).

 ## 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.
+- **RBAC (M3+)**: atomic permissions (31 codes) bundled into custom groups; 3 system groups seeded (`admin` / `redteam` / `blueteam`).
+- **MITRE ATT&CK (M4+)**: Enterprise reference catalogue pinned to v19.0, seedable via `make seed-mitre`.
 - **Delivery**: docker-compose. TLS termination is expected to be handled by an external reverse proxy in production.

 - **Le test d'intégration "expected tables/FK/CHECK" est le bon filet de sécurité** pour M1+ : il a immédiatement attrapé les fixes du reviewer (le retrait de `ck_mission_test_mitre_tags_exactly_one_mitre_fk` aurait été un oubli silencieux sinon).

+## 2026-05-12 — M4 MITRE ATT&CK
+
+- **STIX parsing avec stdlib uniquement** (`urllib.request` + `json` + `hashlib`) suffit pour 50 MB de bundle, ~1.1 s parse end-to-end. Pas besoin de `requests`/`httpx`. Toute future ingestion de gros JSON pinné → stdlib first, ne pas inflater l'image pour un cas d'usage one-shot.
+- **Le sous-jacent MITRE évolue** : la spec mentionne "14 tactics" mais la v19 actuelle en ship 15 (Reconnaissance + Resource Development depuis v8). Les assertions de DoD sont à exprimer en `>= X` quand un référentiel externe est en jeu, pas en `== X`. Pattern : décorréler la valeur exacte du contrat (sinon la maintenance casse au prochain bump).
+- **Sub-technique parent resolution** : la source authoritative est la `relationship[subtechnique-of]` STIX, pas la convention dotted-id `T1003.001 → T1003`. La regex en fallback ne sert que si la relation manque (jamais le cas avec MITRE officiel, mais utile pour bundles custom).
+- **`session_scope()` enveloppe tout le seed dans une seule transaction** → les lecteurs externes ne voient jamais un état intermédiaire pendant le DELETE+INSERT de `mitre_technique_tactics`. Postgres READ COMMITTED isole. Pas besoin d'advisory lock sauf si on s'attend à des syncs concurrents.
+- **Checksum bypass silencieux = footgun**. Avant : `source != MITRE_DEFAULT_URL` → `expected_sha256 = None`. Un admin qui type un domaine attaquant dans `mitre_source_url` ingère du JSON arbitraire sans intégrité. Patron correct : `MitreSeedError("custom URL requires an expected_sha256 or allow_unverified=True")`. L'opt-out explicite (`--skip-checksum` côté CLI, `allow_unverified: true` côté API) reste possible mais visible.
+- **`/diag/reset` cohérence** : si on TRUNCATE `settings` mais pas les tables de référence MITRE (gardées car coûteuses à re-seeder), `GET /mitre/status` retourne `last_sync: null` alors que `GET /mitre/tactics` retourne 15 lignes. Discrepancy mensongère. Fix : TRUNCATE aussi les `mitre_*` dans `/diag/reset` (test-only endpoint, on accepte la re-sync via `/mitre/sync` en `beforeAll`).
+- **Volume permissions et chown au build** : `mkdir -p /data/mitre && chown -R metamorph:metamorph /data` dans le Dockerfile suffit POUR le premier `make up` (podman copie l'ownership de l'image lors de l'init du named volume). Mais si un volume préexiste owned root, le chown ne replay pas. À documenter en pré-requis dans `tasks/testing-m.md`, ou ajouter un entrypoint shim qui valide les perms au boot.
+- **Build cache du front silencieux** : `podman build` montre `Using cache aad724...` même quand src/ a changé si le diff entre les arborescences est invisible (mtime). En cas de doute : `podman build --no-cache` une fois pour confirmer que le typecheck passe, puis `make down && make up` pour pousser le bundle. Réflexe à garder en mémoire.

 - **`logging.LogRecord` réserve `name`** comme attribut interne (en plus de `message`, `levelname`, `pathname`, `filename`, `module`, `funcName`, `lineno`, `asctime`, `process`, `thread`, `args`). Donc `log.info("metamorph.x.created", extra={"name": entity.name})` lève `KeyError: "Attempt to overwrite 'name' in LogRecord"`. Patron : préfixer toute clé risquée par l'entité (`group_name`, `user_name`, `template_name`). À documenter dans le style guide quand on en aura un.

+# Testing M4 — MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise
+
+## 1. Lancement de la stack
+
+```bash
+make clean       # reset si une stack tournait
+make up          # build + start db/api/front
+make migrate
+make seed-mitre  # télécharge le bundle pinné v19.0 (~50 MB, ~1 s parse)
+```
+
+> **Permissions volume** : `metamorph_mitre` est créé chowné `metamorph:metamorph` par le Dockerfile à la 1ʳᵉ initialisation. Si tu as un volume préexistant (d'une expé antérieure) appartenant à root, le seed échouera avec `PermissionError`. Solution : `podman volume rm metamorph_metamorph_mitre` avant `make up`.
+
+## 2. Tests automatisés
+
+```bash
+make test-api    # 58 tests pytest dont 19 MITRE (parser, idempotence, security guards, all endpoints, dotted fallback, version clearing)
+make e2e         # 34 tests Playwright dont 6 M4
+```
+
+Le rapport HTML est dans `e2e/playwright-report/`, le JUnit dans `e2e/playwright-report/junit.xml`.
+
+## 3. Procédure manuelle (smoke navigateur)
+
+### Pré-requis
+- Stack up, migrations appliquées, `make seed-mitre` exécuté.
+- Le bundle est cache dans le volume `metamorph_mitre` (`/data/mitre/enterprise-attack-19.0.json`). Pour ré-utiliser un fichier local : `flask --app app.cli metamorph seed-mitre --source /chemin/vers/enterprise-attack.json`.
+
+### 3.1 Page MITRE (`/mitre`)
+1. Se connecter en admin.
+2. Cliquer **MITRE** dans la nav → page chargée.
+3. Carte **Source** : vérifier `version 19.0` + URL pinnée + `Last sync` non vide.
+4. Carte **Sync** (admin uniquement) : cliquer **Trigger MITRE sync** → bannière verte avec counts (15 tactics / 222 techniques / 475 subtechniques).
+5. **Picker — matrice flat type attack.mitre.org** :
+   - La matrice tient sur la largeur de la page sans scroll horizontal (15 colonnes de largeur égale, partagent l'espace dispo).
+   - Chaque header de colonne montre **seulement le nom de la tactic** (ex. `Credential Access`) + `17 techniques` en petit dessous. L'`external_id` (TA0006) apparaît au hover (title).
+   - Click sur le header **Credential Access** → toute la colonne est sélectionnée (chip cyan en haut, header en cyan filled).
+   - Re-click pour désélectionner.
+   - Les cellules affichent **uniquement le nom de la technique** (ex. `OS Credential Dumping`). L'`external_id` (T1003) apparaît au hover (title) et dans le chip de sélection.
+   - Cliquer la cellule **OS Credential Dumping** → cellule en orange filled, chip `T1003 · OS Credential Dumping` en haut.
+   - Cliquer le chevron `▸ 8` à droite de la cellule → la liste des sub-techniques se déploie inline dans la même colonne, chevron passe à `▾ 8`.
+   - Cliquer **LSASS Memory** (sub-technique) → cell purple filled, chip `T1003.001 · LSASS Memory`.
+   - Click le chip pour le retirer.
+   - La carte « Selected (preview payload) » sous la matrice montre le JSON cumulatif avec les `external_id`.
+
+### 3.2 Filtre
+1. Taper `dump` dans le champ **Filter** → seules T1003 + sub-techniques restent visibles, les autres techniques sont cachées (mais leurs colonnes restent visibles pour préserver la grille).
+2. Taper `TA0006` → idem mais filtre par `external_id`.
+3. Vider le filtre → toutes les cellules réapparaissent.
+
+### 3.3 Non-admin
+1. Inviter un user sans perms via Admin > Invitations.
+2. Se connecter en tant que ce user.
+3. Naviguer sur `/mitre` → page accessible, picker fonctionnel (read-only).
+4. La carte **Sync** n'apparaît PAS (UI gate `is_admin`).
+5. Tenter `POST /api/v1/mitre/sync` via curl avec son token → **403** `insufficient permissions`.
+
+### 3.4 Re-sync admin
+```bash
+ACCESS=$(curl -sX POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/auth/login \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"email":"admin@metamorph.local","password":"AdminPass1234!"}' | jq -r .access_token)
+curl -sX POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/mitre/sync \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS" | jq
+```
+Sortie attendue :
+```json
+{
+  "tactics_upserted": 15,
+  "techniques_upserted": 222,
+  "subtechniques_upserted": 475,
+  "subtechniques_skipped_orphan": 0,
+  "technique_tactic_links": 254,
+  "version": "19.0",
+  "duration_ms": ~1000
+}
+```
+
+### 3.5 Sync via URL custom
+```bash
+curl -sX POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/mitre/sync \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS" \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"source":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitre-attack/attack-stix-data/master/enterprise-attack/enterprise-attack-18.1.json"}' | jq
+```
+- Avec une URL ≠ pinned : sha256 désactivé, `version` est `null` (on ne connaît pas la version d'un fichier custom).
+
+### 3.6 Mode air-gap
+1. Préparer un STIX 2.1 valide localement : `enterprise-attack-19.0.json`.
+2. Le copier dans le volume :
+   ```bash
+   podman cp enterprise-attack-19.0.json metamorph-api:/data/mitre/
+   ```
+3. Lancer le seed pointé sur le path : `podman compose exec api flask --app app.cli metamorph seed-mitre --source /data/mitre/enterprise-attack-19.0.json --skip-checksum`
+
+## 4. Points de contrôle critiques
+
+- [x] `make seed-mitre` initial pinné v19.0 → 15/222/475 sans orphans.
+- [x] Re-lancer le seed est idempotent (mêmes counts).
+- [x] `/mitre/tactics` retourne 15 tactics (la spec mentionne 14 — MITRE en a 15 depuis v8).
+- [x] `/mitre/techniques?tactic=TA0006` retourne ≥ 17 techniques incl. T1003.
+- [x] `/mitre/subtechniques?technique=T1003` retourne 8 sub-techniques.
+- [x] `/mitre/status` expose `last_sync`, `version`, `source_url`, `default_url`, `default_version`.
+- [x] `/mitre/sync` exige la perm `mitre.sync` (admin via bypass `is_admin`).
+- [x] Sha256 mismatch sur la pinned URL → 502 `checksum_mismatch`, DB intacte.
+- [x] Bundle local (`--source `) bypasse la vérif checksum.
+- [x] Picker SPA : matrice flat attack.mitre.org-style — 15 colonnes equal-width sans scroll horizontal, cellules avec **name only** (external_id au hover + dans chips), chevron `▸ N / ▾ N` → sub-techniques inline, chips multi-niveaux en haut.
+- [x] `GET /mitre/matrix` retourne tous les tactics + leurs techniques + sub-techniques nestées en un seul appel (~55 KB pour v19).
+- [x] Non-admin : voit la page `/mitre` mais pas la carte Sync ; `POST /mitre/sync` → 403.
