Compose v2 canonical filename (compose.yml) is recognized by both docker compose and podman compose without preference. The previous docker-compose.yml worked but signalled a Docker-first stance, while target deployment is Podman 5.8+ rootless. - Rename backend/docker-compose.yml -> backend/compose.yml. - backend/README.md `make db-up` comment uses $(CONTAINER) to mirror the Makefile auto-detect (lines 14-16: docker || podman). - backend/README.md audit-writer bootstrap snippet hints at podman fallback explicitly with `command -v` runtime sniff. - backend/compose.yml comment for audit-writer mentions both runtimes. No functional change. Makefile $(COMPOSE) target unchanged: Compose v2 discovers compose.yml first in its search order.
Mimic
Internal BAS (Breach & Attack Simulation) platform for the Red Team. Replays TTPs from engagement journals or an internal ATT&CK library against client infrastructure through VPN/relay, in white-glove coordination with the SOC.
Output: a coverage report mapped to MITRE ATT&CK — measurable, reproducible, archived.
Status
ready-with-prereqs — spec frozen on 2026-05-19, 23 review patches integrated.
Code start blocked on:
- PR1 — Mythic API documentation + pinned version (lead RT)
- PR2 — Internal C2 interface spec + journal export example (internal C2 team)
- PR3 — RT graphic charter for the PDF report (lead RT)
While PR1/PR2/PR3 are open, sprint 0 focuses on the unblocked skeleton.
Spec
The authoritative spec lives in the RT-SecondBrain vault:
Projects/Mimic — Spec.md. Do not duplicate it here.
In-repo documentation:
CHANGELOG.md— chronological log of features, decisions, rollbacks.tasks/spec-decisions.md— implementation arbitrations on top of the spec.tasks/todo.md— current sprint backlog.
Stack (frozen)
- Backend Python 3.12 / Flask / Flask-SocketIO / SQLAlchemy 2 / Pydantic 2 / Alembic / WeasyPrint / pytest + testcontainers / ruff / mypy strict
- Frontend TypeScript / React 18+ / Vite / Tailwind 4 / TanStack Query 5 / Recharts / Playwright
- Storage Postgres (prod) / SQLite (pure-logic unit tests) / testcontainers Postgres (audit log, RBAC, write-only role — incl. unit tests of Postgres-specific behavior, per H38)
- Deploy Docker images + Ansible deployment playbook (per D-010). Reverse proxy (Caddy + TLS + IP allowlist) handled by existing RT infrastructure, out of Mimic scope (D-007).
