knacky 90f8141cfc fix(backend): make google-re2 a hard dependency, drop re fallback (B1)
Code-review BLOCKER B1. Reaffirms D-011: a `re` stdlib fallback defeats the
OPSEC-safe-regex guarantee because hostile C2 output can trigger catastrophic
backtracking. The `[:1MB]` slice cap does not mitigate that — re-evaluating
a malicious pattern over 1 MB of attacker-controlled text is still a worker
freeze.

- `mimic.templating.filters` now imports `re2` unconditionally and raises
  `RuntimeError` at module load if the binding is absent. No `re` import,
  no `_HAS_RE2` branch, no `_FALLBACK_MAX_INPUT`.
- `pyproject.toml` already pinned `google-re2 >= 1.1, < 2.0`; this commit
  hardens the import path to actually enforce it.
- New test `test_re2_is_required` asserts the binding is wired in.

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.
