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).

+AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 
+Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This 
+Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and green­
+houses, 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 statements on this 
+label about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box 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 48 hours. 
+PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that in­
+volves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is: A) Coveralls; B) Chemical­
+resistant gloves such as barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber or viton; C) Chemical-resistant footwear plus 
+socks; D) Protective eyewear; E) Chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure. 
+DIRECTIONS FOR APPLICATION 
+This product is intended for use in conventional hydraulic sprayers, ground applicators or aerial sprayers. Do not apply when 
+weather conditions favor drift of spray from treated areas. Repeat applications as necessary unless otherwise specified. 
+Consult your state experiment station or state extension service for proper timing of applications. 
+DIGON 400 has systemic and contact activity against a broad spectrum of piercing, sucking and chewing insects; however, 
+it may not control certain organophosphate resistant species. 
+COMPATIBILITY: DIGON 400 is compatible in spray tank mixes with most insecticides, miticides and fungicides, provided 
+they are not alkaline in reaction. Field experience indicates that DIGON 400 has been satisfactorily mixed with Sevin', 
+Diazinon, Guthion', Kelthane', parathion, captan, zineb and thiram. Because uniform dispensability and spray ability may be 
+influenced by pesticide combinations used, it is recommended that compatibility be determined before adding pesticides to 
+the spray tank. The addition of R-11'" at recommended rates will usually eliminate any incompatibility noted. 
+::lR PROPER MIXING SPRAYTANK SHOULD BE AT LEASTTHREE·QUARTERS FILLED WITH WATER BEFORE ADD· 
+ING DIGON 400. MECHANICAL AGITATION OR RECIRCULATION THROUGH PUMP BYPASS TO TANK IS USUALLY 
+SUFFICIENT FOR MAINTAINING A GOOD DISPERSION, 
+Spray tank mixes of OIGON 400 with alkaline insecticides and fungicides should be applied promptly. 
+Tank mixing must be done in accordance with the more (most) restrictive of label limitations and precautions for all products 
+to be mixed. No label dosage rates should be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label 
+prohibiting such mixing. 
+ODOR: DIMETHOATE formulations may produce a distinctive odor during the spray operation, but under norrlal conditions 
+this odor does not persist. 
+Aerial Applications: Apply at least one gallon of finished spray per acre. Apply at least 5 gallons finishej spra! per acre in 
+California. 
+Automatic flagging devices should be used whenever feasible. 
+If human lIaggers are employed, they must wear the protective clothing and respirator specified or. this label. 
+Ground Applications: Use water for dilution and apply at least 5 gallons of finished spray ~£r &cre. 
+WILBUR-ELLIS recommends the use of a drift retardant agent such as BIVERT'" when applying this pesticide by air or 
+ground.

+DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
+It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. 
+Do not apply this product through any irrigation system unless the CHEMIGATION section of this label is followed. 
+Chemigation: APPLYTHIS PRODUCT ONLYTHROUGH SPRINKLER, INCLUDING CENTER PIVOT, LATERAL MOVE, END 
+TOW, SIDE (WHEEL) ROLL, TRAVELER, BIG GUN, SOLID SET, OR HAND MOVE; FLOOD (BASIN); FURROW; BORDER; 
+OR DRIP (TRICKLE) IRRIGATION SYSTEM(S). DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCTTHROUGH ANY OTHER TYPE OF IRRIGA­
+TION SYSTEMS. 
+Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform distribution of treated 
+water. 
+If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or 
+other experts. 
+DO NOT connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse system) used for pesticide application to a public water system 
+unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. 
+A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the res pon­
+. sible person shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. 
+Mix in a clean supply tank the recommended amount of this product for acreage to be covered, and needed quantity of water. 
+This product should not be tank-mixed with other pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers, unless prior use has shown the combi­
+nation non-injurious under your conditions of use. Follow precautionary statements and directions for all tank-mix products. 
+On all crops, use sufficient gallonage of water to obtain thorough and uniform coverage, but not cause runoff or excessive 
+leaching. This will vary depending on equipment, pest problem and stage of crop growth. Application of more or less than 
+optimal quantity of water may result in decreased chemical performance, crop injury or illegal pesticide residues. 
+Meter this product into the irrigation water uniformly during the period of operation. Do not overlap application. Follow recom­
+mended label rates, application timing, and other directions and precautions for crop being treated. Continuous mild agitation of 
+pesticide mixture may be needed to assure uniform application, particularly if the supply tank requires a number of hours to 
+empty. 
+CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTEDTO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS: 
+Note: WILBUR-ELLIS COMPANY does not encourage connecting chemigation systems to public water supplies. The following 
+information is provided for users who have diligently considered all other application and water supply options before electing to 
+make such a connection. 
+1 
+t'ublic water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has 
+at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. 
+Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back flow preventer 
+(RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the 
+RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There 
+shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir 
+tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe. 
+The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of the fluid 
+back toward the injection pump. 
+The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve locateu on th" intake side 
+of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdr,wr 'r':lm the su::>Ply tank when 
+the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. 
+The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide inj€'ctlon purrr '¥~en the water 
+pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decrea333 to the POlr.t wh3re pesticide 
+distribution is adversely affected. 
+Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm ;JJ:Cp) effectively 
+designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a syshJm interlock. 
+DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
