fix(ci): fix indentation on ci.yaml

Adds topology CRUD to BaseRepository (NotImplementedError defaults) and
implements them in SQLModelRepository: create/get/list/delete topologies,
add/update/list LANs and TopologyDeckies, add/list edges, plus an atomic
update_topology_status that appends a TopologyStatusEvent in the same
transaction.  Cascade delete sweeps children before the topology row.

Covered by tests/topology/test_repo.py (roundtrip, per-topology name
uniqueness, status event log, cascade delete, status filter) and an
extension to tests/test_base_repo.py for the NotImplementedError surface.

-## Project Overview
-
-DECNET is a honeypot/deception network framework. It deploys fake machines (called **deckies**) with realistic services (RDP, SMB, SSH, FTP, etc.) to lure and profile attackers. All attacker interactions are aggregated to an isolated logging network (ELK stack / SIEM).
-
-## Deployment Models
-
-**UNIHOST** — one real host spins up _n_ deckies via a container orchestrator. Simpler, single-machine deployment.
-
-**SWARM (MULTIHOST)** — _n_ real hosts each running deckies. Orchestrated via Ansible/sshpass or similar tooling.
-
-## Core Technology Choices
-
-- **Containers**: Docker Compose is the starting point but other orchestration frameworks should be evaluated if they serve the project better. `debian:bookworm-slim` is the default base image; mixing in Ubuntu, CentOS, or other distros is encouraged to make the decoy network look heterogeneous.
-- **Networking**: Deckies need to appear as real machines on the LAN (own MACs/IPs). MACVLAN and IPVLAN are candidates; the right driver depends on the host environment. WSL has known limitations — bare metal or a VM is preferred for testing.
-- **Log pipeline**: Logstash → ELK stack → SIEM (isolated network, not reachable from decoy network)
-
-## Architecture Constraints
-
-- The decoy network must be reachable from the outside (attacker-facing).
-- The logging/aggregation network must be isolated from the decoy network.
-- A publicly accessible real server acts as the bridge between the two networks.
-- Deckies should differ in exposed services and OS fingerprints to appear as a heterogeneous network.
-
-## Development and testing
-
-- For every new feature, pytests must me made.
-- Pytest is the main testing framework in use.
-- NEVER pass broken code to the user.
-    - Broken means: not running, not passing 100% tests, etc.
-- After tests pass with 100%, always git commit your changes.

+## Environment Configuration (.env)
+
+DECNET supports loading configuration from `.env.local` and `.env` files located in the project root. This is useful for securing secrets like the JWT key and configuring default ports without passing flags every time.
+
+An example `.env.example` is provided:
+
+```ini
+# API Options
+DECNET_API_HOST=0.0.0.0
+DECNET_API_PORT=8000

+```
+
+Copy `.env.example` to `.env.local` and modify it to suit your environment.

 ## Logging
 
 All attacker interactions are forwarded off the decoy network to an isolated logging sink. The log pipeline lives on a separate internal Docker bridge (`decnet_logs`) that is not reachable from the fake LAN.

+#### Measured baseline
+
+Reference numbers from recent Locust runs against a MySQL backend
+(asyncmy driver). All runs hold zero failures throughout.
+
+**Single worker** (unless noted):
+
+| Metric | 500u, tracing on | 1500u, tracing on | 1500u, tracing **off** | 1500u, tracing off, **pinned to 1 core** | 1500u, tracing off, **12 workers** |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Requests served | 396,672 | 232,648 | 277,214 | 3,532 | 308,024 |
+| Failures | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+| Throughput (current RPS) | ~960 | ~880 | ~990 | ~46 | ~1,585 |
+| Average latency | 465 ms | 1,774 ms | 1,489 ms | 21.7 s | 930 ms |
+| Median (p50) | 100 ms | 690 ms | 340 ms | 270 ms | 700 ms |
+| p95 | 1.9 s | 6.5 s | 5.7 s | 115 s | 2.7 s |
+| p99 | 2.9 s | 9.5 s | 8.4 s | 122 s | 4.2 s |
+| Max observed | 8.3 s | 24.4 s | 20.9 s | 124.5 s | 16.5 s |
+
+Ramp is 15 users/s for the 500u column, 40 users/s otherwise.
+
+Takeaways:
+
+- **Tracing off**: at 1500 users, flipping `DECNET_TRACING=false`
+  halves p50 (690 → 340 ms) and pushes RPS from ~880 past the
+  500-user figure on a single worker.
+- **12 workers**: RPS scales ~1.6× over a single worker (~990 →
+  ~1585). Sublinear because the workload is DB-bound — MySQL and the
+  connection pool become the new ceiling, not Python. p99 drops from
+  8.4 s to 4.2 s.
+- **Connection math**: `DECNET_DB_POOL_SIZE=20` × `DECNET_DB_MAX_OVERFLOW=40`
+  × 12 workers = 720 connections at peak. MySQL's default
+  `max_connections=151` needs bumping (we used 2000) before running
+  multi-worker load.
+- **Single-core pinning**: ~46 RPS with p95 near two minutes. Interesting
+  as a "physics floor" datapoint — not a production config.
+
+Top endpoints by volume: `/api/v1/attackers`, `/api/v1/deckies`,
+`/api/v1/bounty`, `/api/v1/logs/histogram`, `/api/v1/config`,
+`/api/v1/health`, `/api/v1/auth/login`, `/api/v1/logs`.
+
+Notes on tuning:
+
+- **Python 3.14 is currently a no-go for the API server.** Under heavy
+  concurrent async load the reworked 3.14 GC segfaults inside
+  `mark_all_reachable` (observed in `_PyGC_Collect` during pending-GC
+  on 3.14.3). Stick to Python 3.11–3.13 until upstream stabilises.
+- Router-level TTL caches on hot count/stats endpoints (`/stats`,
+  `/logs` count, `/attackers` count, `/bounty`, `/logs/histogram`,
+  `/deckies`, `/config`) collapse concurrent duplicate work onto a
+  single DB hit per window — essential to reach this RPS on one worker.
+- Turning off request tracing (`DECNET_TRACING=false`) is the next
+  free headroom: tracing was still on during the run above.
+- On SQLite, `DECNET_DB_POOL_PRE_PING=false` skips the per-checkout
+  `SELECT 1`. On MySQL, keep it `true` — network disconnects are real.
+
+#### System tuning: open file limit
+
+Under heavy load (500+ concurrent users), the server will exhaust the default Linux open file limit (`ulimit -n`), causing `OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files`. Most distros default to **1024**, which is far too low for stress testing or production use.
+
+**Before running stress tests:**
+
+```bash
+# Check current limit
+ulimit -n
+
+# Bump for this shell session
+ulimit -n 65536
+```
+
+**Permanent fix** — add to `/etc/security/limits.conf`:
+
+```
+*  soft  nofile  65536
+*  hard  nofile  65536
+```
+
+Or for systemd-managed services, add `LimitNOFILE=65536` to the unit file.
+
+> This applies to production deployments too — any server handling hundreds of concurrent connections needs a raised file descriptor limit.
+
+# AI Disclosure
+
+This project has been made with lots, and I mean lots of help from AIs. While most of the design was made by me, most of the coding was done by AI models.
+
+Nevertheless, this project will be kept under high scrutiny by humans.

+"""Agent → master liveness heartbeat loop.
+
+Every ``INTERVAL_S`` seconds the worker posts ``executor.status()`` to
+``POST <master>/swarm/heartbeat`` over mTLS. The master pins the
+presented client cert's SHA-256 against the ``SwarmHost`` row for the
+claimed ``host_uuid``; a match refreshes ``last_heartbeat`` + each
+``DeckyShard``'s snapshot + runtime state.
+
+Identity comes from ``/etc/decnet/decnet.ini`` (seeded by the enroll
+bundle) — specifically ``DECNET_HOST_UUID`` and ``DECNET_MASTER_HOST``.
+The worker's existing ``~/.decnet/agent/`` bundle (or
+``/etc/decnet/agent/``) provides the mTLS client cert.
+
+Started/stopped via the agent FastAPI app's lifespan. If identity
+plumbing is missing (pre-enrollment dev runs) the loop logs at DEBUG and
+declines to start — callers don't have to guard it.

+os.environ.setdefault). Call load_ini_config() once, very early, before
+any decnet.env import, so env.py picks up the seeded values as if they
+had been exported by the shell.

+
+  - Inter-event timing statistics (mean / median / stdev / min / max)
+  - Coefficient-of-variation (jitter metric)
+  - Beaconing vs. interactive vs. scanning vs. brute_force vs. slow_scan

+  - Tool attribution against known C2 frameworks (Cobalt Strike, Sliver,

+  - Header-based tool detection (Nmap NSE, Gophish, Nikto, sqlmap, etc.)
+    from HTTP request events
+  - Recon → exfil phase sequencing (latency between the last recon event

+Attacker profile builder — incremental background worker.

+Maintains a persistent CorrelationEngine and a log-ID cursor across cycles.
+On cold start (first cycle or process restart), performs one full build from
+all stored logs.  Subsequent cycles fetch only new logs via the cursor,
+ingest them into the existing engine, and rebuild profiles for affected IPs
+only.
+
+Complexity per cycle: O(new_logs + affected_ips) instead of O(total_logs²).
