Adds `Permission.USER_MANAGE = "user.manage"` to the F11 matrix. rt_lead already holds ALL_PERMISSIONS so GROUP_PERMISSIONS is unchanged — rt_lead gets the new permission automatically, rt_operator and soc_analyst get 403. Alembic migration `202605230001_add_user_manage_permission`: - inserts the `user.manage` row into `permission`, - inserts the `(rt_lead, user.manage)` link into `group_permission`, - exposes `_DELTA_PERMISSIONS` / `_DELTA_GROUP_PERMISSIONS` for parity tests. The previous `test_frozen_*_matches_runtime` invariant (MA3) is generalised to "runtime = initial frozen ∪ deltas of every migration in `_DELTAS`". New migrations register themselves there without editing the historical one. Verbatim wording from spec-analyst is recorded as D-015 in `tasks/spec-decisions.md` (separate commit).

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:
# Substitute "podman" for "docker" if your runtime is Podman.
$(command -v docker || command -v podman) 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).
C2ConnectorABC + dataclasses +payload_typeenum + factory. No real Mythic/Home implementation (blocked on PR1/PR2).- Jinja2 SandboxedEnvironment +
regex_extractfilter (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.
