Two changes scoped together since both stem from the post-PR2 wrap-up.
docs/podman-runner-setup.md (new, ~190 LOC):
Operational runbook for the gitea-runner host that drives CI. The first
attempt at install hit four traps that this archived version documents
so we don't lose the lesson:
1. `act_runner register` performs a sanity ping against the container
daemon before writing the credential. Without the Podman socket
mounted on the *register one-shot*, register fails silently and no
.runner file is produced. The runbook mounts the socket on both
register and daemon containers.
2. SELinux blocks rootless socket access by default. Quadlet
SecurityLabelDisable=true (or --security-opt label=disable for the
legacy CLI form) is the documented bypass. No-op on Debian, required
on RHEL/Fedora hosts.
3. The runner user UID is not 1000 on every host (gitea = 1005 here).
Quadlet `%U` substitution makes the unit portable; hardcoded UIDs
are explicitly called out as a sprint 0 mistake.
4. `podman generate systemd` is officially deprecated. Quadlet is the
only supported pattern going forward and is what this runbook ships;
legacy alternative is omitted on purpose.
Also captures: token placeholder convention (<TOKEN_FROM_GITEA_UI>,
never the real value in archived docs), single-use semantics, the
"secrets via file, not chat" convention, the `:X.Y.Z` pin policy versus
`:latest` in prod (ties into follow-up F-D1), and a decommissioning
section that cleans up state without nuking the user-level Podman socket.
tasks/todo.md:
New section "Frontend follow-ups (sprint 1+)" with F-D1..F-D5 from
code-reviewer on `chore/frontend-dockerfile` (649194b). All deferred,
none blocking. F-D1 (digest pinning) is project-wide and explicitly
references the backend image and the runner image alongside the
frontend ones for a single chore commit.
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).
