Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
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).

SEED lABELING
|
||
To meet U.5.FederaISeedAct requirements, all seed treated
|
||
. with RTU-PCNB should be labeled:
|
||
TREATEEl SEED DO NOT USE FOR FOOD, FEED OR OIL
|
||
PURPOSES. Treated with pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB).
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
RTU-PCNB should be applied utilizing on-farm or commercial
|
||
seed treating equipment, which can be ca'librated to accurately
|
||
and uniformly apply the product to seed. On-farm treating
|
||
equipment such as the T.5.T. (Total Slurry Treater) or FAS.T.
|
||
(Farmer Applied Seed Treater) can be utilized.
|
||
Refer to the label rates below. In some cases, RTU-PCNB can be
|
||
applied undiluted, but dilution with water is appropriate for
|
||
most seed types, in order to achieve more uniform product to
|
||
seed coverage. For application to wheat seed, for example,
|
||
dilution with water is necessary to achieve uniform coverage.
|
||
RTU-PCNB and water should be mixed thoroughly prior to
|
||
treating seed. Recalibrate treating equipment to compensate
|
||
for the additionof water. A minimum of one part RTU-PCNB
|
||
and one part water is recommended. Higher water dilutions
|
||
may enhance coverage.
