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).

|
||
2. Relocate "Shake Well Before Using" to the "Directions For Use" section of the label.
|
||
3. Per the Thiram RED, revise the glove and apron statements in the handler PPE section to read:
|
||
"Chemical-resistant gloves when bagging or sewing bags oftreated seed,"
|
||
and
|
||
"Chemical-resistant apron when mixing, loading, cleaning up spills, or cleaning equipment."
|
||
4. Add "User Safety Requirements" title in bold text above "Follow manufacturer's instructions for
|
||
cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep
|
||
and wash PPE separately from other laundry."
|
||
5. Under "Endangered Species," delete "This bag contains seed treatment with thiram." It is not
|
||
applicable since the seeds are grown for sale, and will not be exposed to the environment.
|
||
6. For the "Environmental Hazards" section, please revise the fIrst sentence to read "This pesticide is
|
||
toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, oysters, and shrimp."
|
||
7. Delete the references to "bulbs" throughout the label as this product is intended for use on
|
||
soybeans only.
|
||
8. Under the "Directions For Use," add a second paragraph to read as follows:
|
||
"Maximum usage when applying both metalaxyl and mefenoxam containing products to the same
|
||
crop within the same season: Do not apply more than the maximum seasonal total for the active
|
||
ingredient as stated on the label of the product containing the lowest seasonal total on that crop.
|
||
9. Under Seed Labeling, revise the fIrst bullet (and other references throughout the paragraph) to
|
||
read, "This bag contains seeds treated with thiram and metalaxyl ...... "
|

|
||
"The Federal Seed Act requires that containers containing treated seeds shall be labeled with the
|
||
following statements:
|
||
• Store treated seed away from food and feedstuffs; do not allow children, pets or livestock
|
||
to have access to treated seeds."
|
||
After the second bullet currently on the label, insert the following statements below:
|
||
"The following statements are required on containers containing vegetable seed ~reated with
|
||
thiram and metalaxyl.

|
||
the potential for such impacts when using this product, consult and follow the instructions provided in the EPA Endangered Species
|

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the
|
||
mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Exposed treated seed may be
|
||
hazardous to birds and other wildlife. Collect or incorporate seed that are spilled during loading or are visible on soil surface in turn
|
||
areas. Dispose of all treated seed by burial away from bodies of water. .
|
||
Groundwater Advisory. This chemical is known to leach through soil into groundwater-under certain conditions as a result of agricultural
|
||
use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater
|
||
contamination. .
|
||
Treated seeds and bulbs are hazardous to fish, birds and mammals. Do not plant treated seeds or bulbs by broadcasting to the soil
|
||
surface. Ensure that all seeds and bulbs are thoroughly covered with soil, especially in turn areas. If seeds or bulbs are not thoroughly
|
||
incorporated by the planter during planting, additional incorporation may be required to thoroughly cover exposed seeds or bulbs.
|
||
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 in a way that will contact workers or other persons. Only protected handlers may be in the area during
|
||
application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency for pesticide regulations.
|
||
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 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 statements 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

|
||
treated seeds are planted in soil or other planting media, the Worker Protection Standard allows workers to enter the treated area
|
||
without restriction if there will be no contact with the treated seeds. 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:
|
||
coveralls, shoes plus socks, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, and protective eyewear.

||
Product Information
|
||
Protector-UAliegiance seed treatment is a ready to use product. Apply as a pour-on hopper-box application or through on-farm seed
|
||
treatment equipment. Protector-UAliegiance combines the action of thiram and metalaxyl to reduce seed rot/seedling blight diseases
|
||
including pythium and Rhizoctoni8. Protector-UAliegiance also provides 0.2 ounce of molybdenum per bushel of seed to aid in the
|
||
nitrogen fixation process.
|
||
Rates
|
||
Soybeans: Use 4.0 fluid ounces of Protector-UAII~giance per bushel of seed (6.7 fluid ounces per 100 pounds of seed). Add half the
|
||
quantity of seed to the planter box and pour on half the quantity of Protector-UAliegiance. Mix thoroughly with a paddle such that all
|
||
seeds are covered. Then add the remaining seed and the second half of Protector-UAliegiance and stir again until all seeds are
|
||
uniformly covered.
|
||
Use Restrictions
|
||
Treated seed must not be used for or mixed with fo()d or animal feed, or processed for oil. Treat only those seed needed for immediate
|
||
use, minimizing the interval between treatment and planting. Do not store excess treated seed beyond planting time. Note: Regularly
|
||
inspect planter plates and mechanisms and clean as required for proper seeding. At the end of each day of use, clean out the electric
|
||
eye monitors according to the manufacturer's directions.
