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 +

.gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does

+GENERAL IImORIIATICB 
+1/ '\ ' 7 
+Whip 0.75EC Herbicide is an emulsifiable concentrate for use in the 
+selective postemergence control of annual and perennial grassy 
+weeds in soybeans and rice. Thorough spray coverage of emerqed 
+qrasses is important. Visible effects beqin as a qeneral 
+chlorosis (yellowinq) followed by death of the weed. Visible 
+injury of the grasses is evident approximately 4-10 days after 
+application (dependent upon environmental conditions); but 
+complete kill of the target qrass will take 12-21 days. 
+Since many qrass crops are sensitive to Whip 0.75EC Herbicide, 
+including sorghum and corn, avoid all direct or indirect contact 
+to neighboring fields. 
+Whip 0.75EC Herbicide does not control broadleaf weeds or sedges. 
+DlkEC'tIOIIS FOR USE 
+It is a violation of Federal law tc use this product in a manner 
+inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply until you have read 
+the entire label.

+CONtRCL OF LARGER ANNUAL GRASSES 
+In soybeans, always use crop oil concentrate when controlling 
+annual grasses that have grown beyond the recommended stages of 
+growth. When grasses are large, the control may take somewhat 
+longer. Yield reductions due to weed competition may result from 
+these late applications. 
+The addition of nanphytotoxic oil concentrate to the spray 
+solution at one ~~) quart per acre for ground applications and 
+one (1) pint per acre for aerial applications may improve the 
+herbicidal activity of Whip 0.75EC Herbicide. Oil should be added 
+when the qrassy weeds are under drought stress or when a less 
+than pptimum application timing is necessary (see Tillling of 
+Application Section). Always use an 80\ paraffin base petroleum 
+oil with the remaining 20\ composed of tolerance exempt 
+surfactants and inert ingredients. 
+The increased speed of foliage burn resulting from the addition 
+of crop oil concentrate may reduce the translocation of Whip 0.75EC 
+Herbicide to the Johnsongrass roots and rhizomes. Therefore, the 
+addition of nonphytotoxic oil is not recommended for the control 
+of rhizome Jchnsongrass. 
+Whip O.75EC Herbicide may be tank mixed with Basagran Herbicide, 
+Blazer or Tackle 2AS in a postemergence program for broad 
+spectrum weed control in soybeans. Tank mix applications are to 
+be used only when both the annual grass and broadleaf weeds are 
+in the proper stage of growth as specified on each respective 
+herbicide label. When tank mixing, always follow the use 
+directions in accordance with the respective label. No label 
+dosage rates should be exceeded.

+Herbicide followed-by the tank mix component. Then add the 
+remaining amount-of water. 
+Be •• qnnR 
+Whip 0.7SEC Herbicide should be applied at a rate of 1.6 to 2.2 
+pints per acre and Basagran at a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 pints per 
+acre. The choice of rates of each product and additivies is 
+dependent on the weed size and weed spectrum present. Refer to 
+the Basagran label to identify the proper rate and additives for 
+control of the species and size of the broadleaf weeds present. 
+The Whip 0.7SEC Herbicide r~tes for tank mixing with Basagran are 
+1.6 pints per acre when the annual grassy weeds are 1 to 4 inches 
+tall, and 2.2 pints per acre when the annual grassy weeds are 4 
+to 8 inches taIlor less than 2 tillers. DO NOT use this tank 
+mix if the annual grassy weeds have developed more than 2 tille~s 
+or are larger than 8 inches tall. For the control of shattercane 
+8 to 12 inches tall and broadleaf weeds that are on the Basagran 
+label, tank mix Whip 0.75EC Herbicide at a rate of 1.6 pints per 
+acre with Basagran at 1.5 to 2.0 pints per acre. DO NOT use this 
+tank mix to control rhizome Johnsongrass. Sequential applica­
+tions of Whip 0.75EC Herbicide and Basagran may be necessary if the 
+stages of the grass and broadleaf weeds are not within tank mix 
+label recommendations at the same time. 
+For Use On soybeans Only: When tank mixing Whip 0.75EC Herbicide 
+and Basagran, always add crop oil concentrate or other labeled 
+additives at the appropriate labeled rate. 
+Special Note: When tank mixing Basagran and Whip 0.75EC Herbicide, a

+recommended to increase the gallonage to o~tain thorough 
+coverage when a dense weed canopy is present. Uniform spray 
+coverage is essential when using aircraft, and is achieved 
+by the use of a spray droplet size ranging from 150 to 300 
+microns. A hydraulic boom-nozzle system that will apply 10 
+gallons of water per acre with a minimum pressure of 20 
+pounds per square inch is recommended. Best results are 
+obtained with D-8 nozzles. DO NOT USE raindrop nozzles.

+The following paddy flood program must be used: 
+PREFLOOD: 
+1. Rice fields must be level. If desirable, fields may be 
+flushed prior to treatment. To expose existing grasses, 
+allow sufficient time for water to drain frail the field 
+before the Whip O.75EC Herbicide app~lcation. 
+2. When to Apply the Paddy Flood: 
+a. When the rice is less than eight (8) inches in 
+height, do not flood fields for at least seven (7) 
+days after the Whip O.75EC Herbicide application. 
+b. When the rice is greater than eight (8) inches in 
+height, the fields can be flooded in 4 - 5 days 
+follOWing the application. 
+3. The water depth (flush or flood) should not exceed 25\ of 
+the rice height for 21 days after the Whip O.75EC Herbicide 
+application. A deep flood can be applied anytime after 21 
+days follOWing treatment. 
+POST-FLOOD: 
+1. The rice should have at least one tiller before making a 
+post-flood application with Whip O.75EC Herbicide. 
+2. Water levels at the time of application should not be 
+greater than an average of two (2) inches in depth or cover 
+more than 25\ of the rice and annual grass foliage. 
+3. Reflood to a normal depth three - four days after the 
+application.

+COiIIiitOL OF o:tBBR WEEDS: 
+Tank Mix Recommendations: 
+Whip O.75EC Herbicide may be tank mixed with Basagran Herbicide in a 
+postemergence program for broad spectrum weed control in rice. 
+When tank mixing, always follow the use directions in accordance 
+with the respective label. No label dosage rate should be 
+exceeded. 
+Whip O.75EC Herbicide should be applied at a rate of 1.6 to 2.2 
+pints per acre and Basagran at a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 pints per 
+acre. Refer to . the Basagran label to identify the proper rate 
+for control of the weed species and size of the weeds present. 
+The Whip O.75EC Herbicide rates for tank mixes with Basagran are 
+1.6 pints per acre, when the annual grassy weeds are 1 to 3 leaf 
+( 1 6 4 inches) and 2 . 2 pints per acre when the annual grassy 
+weeds are 4 leaf to 1 tiller ( 4 - 8 inches). Do not tank mix 
+Whip O.75EC Herbicide and Basagran when the annual grassy weeds 
+have developed more than 1 tillers or if the weeds are under 
+drought stress. Sequential applications may be necessary if the 
+growth stage of the grasses and broadleaf weeds are not within 
+the tank mix label recOlllDendations at the same time. 
+In preflood applications, a new flush of broadleaf weeds may 
+occur under certain environmental conditions before the field 
+receives permanent flood 7 days later; therefore, appropriate 
+control measures may be required. 
+Fill the spray tank half full with water while the agitator is 
+running. Add the recommended amount of Whip O. 75EC Herbicide 
+followed by Basagran. Then add the remaining amount of water. 
+SBQUElU'1AL TREA'l'MEHTS: 
+Applications of other herbicides may be made sequentially to Whip 
+O.75EC Herbicide. A six (6) day interval is recommended between 
+applications of Whip O.75EC Herbicide and other pesticide appli­
+cations.

+grass control. 
+3. DO NOT make more than two applications of Whip 0.75EC Herbicide 
+per growing season and do not apply more than 3.2 pints 
+(0.30 pounds of active ingredient) per acre per growing 
+season. 
+4. DO NOT apply Whip 0.75EC Herbicide after the late tillering 
+stage of the rice crop development (bllt prior to panicle 
+initiation). 
+5. As a general management practice, clean spray system 
+thoroughly before and after any pesticide application. 
+Avoid using any water that is contaminated with other 
+pesticides. 
+6. DO NOT graze or feed rice straw to livestock. 
+7. DO NOT plant any rotational crop in a Whip 0.75EC Herbicide 
+treated field for 30 days after application (120 days for 
+small grains). 
+8. DO NOT apply Whip 0.75EC Herbicide in areas where catfish and 
+crayfish are commercially cultivated.
