# Implementation Summary: Phase 1 - Core Infrastructure & Auth

## Overview

This document summarizes the complete implementation of Phase 1 for VelociCompanion, a multi-tenant threat hunting companion for Velociraptor. All acceptance criteria have been met.

## What Was Built

### 🎯 Complete Backend API (FastAPI)

#### Core Infrastructure
- ✅ FastAPI application with 22 routes
- ✅ PostgreSQL database integration via SQLAlchemy
- ✅ Alembic database migrations configured
- ✅ Docker containerization with health checks
- ✅ Environment-based configuration

#### Authentication System
- ✅ JWT token-based authentication using python-jose
- ✅ Password hashing with bcrypt (passlib)
- ✅ OAuth2 password flow for API compatibility
- ✅ Token expiration and validation
- ✅ Secure credential handling

#### Database Models (5 tables)
1. **tenants** - Multi-tenant organization data
2. **users** - User accounts with roles
3. **hosts** - Monitored systems
4. **cases** - Threat hunting investigations
5. **artifacts** - IOCs and evidence

#### API Endpoints (22 routes)

**Authentication (`/api/auth`)**
- `POST /register` - Create new user account
- `POST /login` - Authenticate and receive JWT
- `GET /me` - Get current user profile
- `PUT /me` - Update user profile

**User Management (`/api/users`)** - Admin only
- `GET /` - List users in tenant
- `GET /{user_id}` - Get user details
- `PUT /{user_id}` - Update user
- `DELETE /{user_id}` - Deactivate user

**Tenants (`/api/tenants`)**
- `GET /` - List accessible tenants
- `POST /` - Create tenant (admin)
- `GET /{tenant_id}` - Get tenant details

**Hosts (`/api/hosts`)**
- `GET /` - List hosts (tenant-scoped)

   - Serve via CDN
   - Enable caching
   - Minify assets

## Support & Maintenance

### Logs
