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).

+GENERAL INFORMATION 
+Apron XL WS is a systemic fungicide seed dressing specifically for control of systemic 
+downy mildews and diseases caused by soil-borne Pythium and Phytophthora spp. 
+When a rate range is specified, use higher rates of Apron XL WS when the disease 
+pressure is expected to be high. 
+For control of other soil-borne diseases, such as Rhizoctonia spp., Apron XL WS 
+should be applied in combination with other registered seed dressing fungicides. 
+Note: Apron XL WS isa systemic fungicide having a specific mode of action. Apron 
+XLWS could be subject to development of insensitive strains of fungi. Development of 
+insensitivity cannot be predicted. Therefore, Syngenta cannot assume liability for crop 
+damage resulting from insensitive strains of fungi. Consult with your State Agricultural 
+Experiment Station or Extension Service Specialist for guidance and ways to control 
+any possible Apron XL WS insensitive strains of fungi which may occur. 
+Apron XL WS may be applied as a water-based slurry with other registered seed 
+treatment insecticides and fungicides through standard slurry- or mist-type commercial 
+seed treatment equipment. 
+Mixing Instructions 
+Prepare no more mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly 
+clean spray equipment before using this product. Vigorous agitation is necessary to 
+dissolve the bag and disperse the product. Maintain maximum agitation 
+throughout the spraying operation. Do riot let the spray mixture stand overnight in 
+the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use. 
+Note: 1 lb. of Apron XL WS displaces 0.70 lb. of water. 
+Precautions: (1) Water soluble bags of Apron XL WS must be completely dissolved 
+and dispersed in plain water before any other tank mix partner is added to the spray 
+solution. (2) The maximum recommended concentration of Apron XL WS in slurries is 7 
+oz. of Apron XL WS in 10 oz. of water per 100 Ibs. of seed. 
+Apron XL WS Alone: Add ~ of the required amount of plain water to the spray or 
+mixing tank. With the agitator running, drop the required number of unopened soluble 
+bags of Apron XL WS into the tank all at once. Continue agitation while adding the 
+remainder of the water. Begin application of the spray solution after the bags have 
+dissolved and the material has completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain 
+agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
+
+) -7-
+Apron XL WS + Tank Mixtures: Add ~ of the required amount of plain water to the 
+spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, drop the required number of unopened 
+soluble bags of Apron XL WS, and any other products packaged in water-soluble bags; 
+into the tank all at once. After the water-soluble bags have dissolved and the products 
+have dispersed uniformly into the mix water, continue to fill the tank with water. Then 
+add the desired amount of other products recommended for tank mixture and allow 
+them to become completelydispersed. Continue agitation to maintain a uniform 
+suspension until all of the spray solution has been applied. 
+If using Apron XL WS in a tank mixture with other seed treatment chemicals, observe 
+all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations 
+which appear on the tank mix product label. No label dosage rate should be exceeded, 
+and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations should be followed. This
