knacky 36c1ed5ffb fix(backend): freeze F11 matrix inline in the initial migration (MA3)
Code-review MAJOR MA3. The initial Alembic migration imported the live
`mimic.rbac.matrix.GROUP_PERMISSIONS` to seed the `permission` / `group` /
`group_permission` rows. That breaks the Alembic invariant "a migration
produces the same schema regardless of when you replay it": a future tweak
to the runtime matrix would silently change the seeded baseline on a fresh
DB.

Two changes:

1. The migration now carries an *inline frozen snapshot* of the F11 matrix
   (`_PERMISSIONS_FROZEN`, `_GROUP_PERMISSIONS_FROZEN`, `_GROUP_DESCRIPTIONS`).
   The seed reads from these tuples/dicts only. If the canonical matrix
   evolves, the next migration is responsible for the delta.

2. A new unit test `test_migration_seed_matches_current_matrix` enforces
   that the frozen seed equals the runtime `Permission` enum and
   `GROUP_PERMISSIONS` mapping. Drift now fails CI loudly with a hint to
   write a new migration instead of editing the existing one.

Also: docstring no longer mentions `ttp_version` (M8 follow-up).

Local dev

make install      # uv venv + pip install -e .[dev]
make db-up        # docker compose up -d postgres
make db-bootstrap # one-time: create the mimic_audit_writer role (see below)
make db-migrate   # alembic upgrade head
make run          # flask run (debug)
make test         # pytest unit
make test-int     # pytest integration (testcontainers)
make lint         # ruff + mypy strict

Audit writer role (dev)

mimic_audit_writer is provisioned by the Ansible playbook in production (decision D-010). For local development, create it manually after make db-up:

docker exec -it mimic-postgres psql -U mimic_app -d mimic \
  -c "CREATE ROLE mimic_audit_writer LOGIN PASSWORD 'pick-a-dev-secret';"

Then expose the same secret in MIMIC_DATABASE_AUDIT_URL in your .env. The Alembic migration grants the INSERT-only permission on audit_log against this role; if it does not exist, the grant block is a no-op (idempotent).

What sprint 0 ships

  • Full §8 data model + Alembic initial migration (Postgres-specific constraints: audit_log write-only role, soc_session hash, c2_credential Fernet column).
  • C2Connector ABC + dataclasses + payload_type enum + factory. No real Mythic/Home implementation (blocked on PR1/PR2).
  • Jinja2 SandboxedEnvironment + regex_extract filter (re2).
  • Local auth (bcrypt + Flask session) + group-based RBAC matching the F11 permission matrix.
  • Flat CRUD on engagements / hosts / TTPs / scenarios.
  • pytest baseline + testcontainers Postgres scaffolding.
