docker: production image + Gitea Actions for monthly refresh

Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked
in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from
sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default,
HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL +
OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time.

.gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does
full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) +
EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus
diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>.

.gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only
pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt,
Dockerfile, sources.json). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds
image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh.

.gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md +
sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping.
chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes).

.dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md,
deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25
explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

+ 
+Dear Mr. Levey: 
+ 
+The amended labeling referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal 
+Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable under FIFRA section 
+3(c)(5). 
+ 
+You must submit and/or cite all data required for registration or registration review of your product 
+when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires all registrants of similar products to 
+submit such data. 
+ 
+A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all previously 
+accepted labeling. You must submit one (1) copy of the final printed labeling before you release this 
+product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR § 152.130(c), you may 
+distribute or sell this product under the previously approved labeling for 18 months from the date of this 
+letter. After 18 months, you may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling 
+or subsequently approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its 
+implementing regulation at 40 CFR § 152.3. 
+ 
+Should you wish to add/retain a reference to your company’s website on your label, then please be 
+aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the EPA. If the 
+website is false or misleading, the product will be considered to be misbranded and sale or distribution 
+of the product is unlawful under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of 
+statements the EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is 
+referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ from those
+
+Page 2 of 2 
+EPA Reg. No. 100-1469 
+OPP Case No. 00144417 
+ 
+claims approved through the registration process. Therefore, should the EPA find or if it is brought to 
+our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or claims substantially differing from 
+the EPA-approved registration, the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and 
+Compliance Assurance. 
+ 
+Your release for shipment of this product constitutes acceptance of these terms. If these terms are not 
+complied with, this registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA section 6.

+PRODUCT INFORMATION
+Afla-Guard GR is a biological control agent for displacing the strains of Aspergillus 
+flavus (A. flavus). The active ingredient in Afla-Guard GR is a nontoxigenic strain of A. 
+flavus (NRRL 21882). Afla-Guard GR acts by competitively displacing toxigenic, 
+aflatoxin-producing strains of A. flavus on labeled crops. Afla-Guard GR is for use on 
+[almonds, peanuts, pistachios, and corn (field and popcorn)] only.
+AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
+Use this product only in accordance with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR 
+Part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural 
+workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and, handlers of agricultural 
+pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and 
+emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions 
+pertaining to the statement on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), 
+and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this 
+product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. 
+Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry 
+interval (REI) of 4 hours.
+PPE required for early entry to treated areas (that is permitted under the Worker 
+Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, 
+such as plants, soil, or water), is:
+x Coveralls
+x Waterproof gloves
+x Shoes plus socks
+x
+A NIOSH-approved particulate respirator wi th any N, R or P filter with NIOSH 
+approval number prefix TC-84A; or a NIOSH- approved powered air purifying 
+respirator with an HE filter with NIOSH approval number prefix TC-21C
+x Goggles
+USE DIRECTIONS
+For aerial applications: Avoiding drift at the application site is the responsibility of the 
+applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determine 
+the potential for drift. The applicator and treatment coordinator are responsible for 
+considering all these factors when making decisions.
+Peanuts
+Ground Application: Apply Afla-Guard GR at 20 lb/Acre (A) in a band over crop rows 
+by using a tractor-mounted Gandy box or by broadcast application. Apply at full canopy 
+(40-80 days after planting). At the time of application, the width of a peanut row 
+(measured from the outer edges of the foliage canopy) is ideally about 18 inches.
+
+Afla-Guard GR
+Page 5
+Aerial Application: Apply by air at 20 lb/A broadcast. Apply as soon as practical after 
+closure of the peanut canopy, within 90 days after planting.
+Do not exceed 20 lb/A per growing season.
+Corn (field corn and popcorn)
+Ground and Aerial Application: Apply Afla-Guard GR from growth stage V7 to R1 
+(the V7 growth stage is when there are 7 visible leaf collars present and the R1 growth 
+stage is the onset of silking) using broadcast application equipment. Cultivation or other 
+mechanical operations that may move soil so that it covers the Afla-Guard GR grain 
+may preclude maximum performance. Therefore, DO NOT APPLY AFLA-GUARD GR 
+UNTIL ALL CULTIVATION OR OTHER MECHANICAL OPERATIONS ARE 
+COMPLETED.
+Do not exceed 20 lb/A per growing season.
+Apply Afla-Guard GR at a use rate of 10-20 lb/A.
+Under environmental conditions that promote severe aflatoxin levels or when historically 
+high levels of aflatoxin have occurred in the past in your area, use the 20 lb/A rate.
+Rescue treatment: If an initial rate of 10 lb/A was applied, a rescue treatment of 10 lb/A
+may follow if environmental conditions are anticipated to reduce the efficacy of Afla-
+Guard GR (i.e. flooding), or when higher than usual levels of aflatoxin are expected.
+Almond and Pistachio
+Ground Application:
+1. Apply Afla-Guard GR to the surface of the soil under the plant canopy with a 
+granular applicator. DO NOT COVER THE APPLIED PRODUCT WITH SOIL.
+2. Adjust the applicator to optimize delivery of Afla-Guard GR under the canopy and 
+to minimize delivery of Afla-Guard GR to areas that do not get wet.
+3. Afla-Guard GR has been shown to be effective when applied in Pistachio from 
+late May through early July, and in Almond from late May through early July.
+4. Rain or irrigation within 3 days after application of Afla-Guard GR will improve 
+results.
+5. Use 10 lb of Afla-Guard GR per acre.
+6. Do not apply more than once per year.
+7. Do not apply to almonds in bloom.
+STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
+Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.
+Pesticide Storage: Store in a dry, cool place out of direct sunlight and away from heat 
+sources. Keep from overheating. Storage temperatures are not to exceed 90ºF. Do 
+not use product more than 4 months after purchase or save product for use in the 
+subsequent season.
