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

CROPS OF CEREAL GRAINS EXCEPT RICE:
Crops of Crop Group 15 except Rice including: Barley, Buckwheat, Corn, Millet (pearl and prosso), Oats, Popcorn, Rye, Sorghum,
Teosinte, Triticale, Wheat
To provide early season protection of seedlings against injury by aphids (including Bird cherry-oat, English grain, Greenbug, a nd
Russian wheat aphid), Hessian fly, apply at 41.3 g to 124 g of formulated product per 100 kg of seed (0.66 oz to 2.0 oz/100 lb of seed)
prior to planting as a slurry treatment. Low use rate for “wireworm-only” protection: Sepresto 75 WS applied at 6.7 – 13.3 g pe r 100 kg
seed (0.11 oz to 0.21 oz/100 lb of seed) offers suppression of wireworm activity on seed and young seedlings. For maximum
effectiveness, treat seed uniformly. Use the higher rate to provide increased length of protection and from heavy insect pressu re and
from wireworms, and to reduce potential spread of Barley yellow dwarf virus due to aphid vectors.
POTATO:
To aid in control of insects including aphids, Colorado potato beetle, flea beetle, potato leafhopper, and psyllids apply at 11 .11 to 22.22
grams of product per 100 kg (0.18 oz to 0.35 oz/100 lb of seed) of cut seed-pieces. To reduce damage to seed pieces caused by
wireworms (Limonius sp., and Melanotus sp.) apply 22.22 grams of Sepresto 75 WS per 100 kg of cut seed-pieces. Apply using a seed
dust metering applicator so that cut seed-pieces are thoroughly covered with the mixture. Thoroughly clean and sanitize cutting
machines, knives, trays, tables, barrels, equipment, trucks, and planters before cutting and planting seed pieces. Plant seed-p ieces as
soon as possible after cutting and treating in accordance with the recommendations of your local extension potato specialist.
ROTATIONAL CROPS:
Treated areas may be replanted with any crop specified on both imidacloprid and clothianidin labels, or any crop for which a tolerance
exists for both active ingredients, as soon as practical following the last application. Areas planted with treated seed may be replanted
immediately with cotton, corn, rapeseed, sorghum, sugar beet, potato, cereal grains (Crop Group 15 except rice), canola, and the
5
following vegetable crops: root vegetables (Crop Group 1), bulb vegetables (Crop Group 3), leafy green vegetables (Crop Group 4A),
Brassica (cole) leafy vegetables (Crop Group 5), fruiting vegetables (Crop Group 8), cucurbit vegetables (Crop Group 9). These areas
may also be replanted after 30 days with soybeans, dried beans and dried peas. Do not plant any other crop in the treated area for at
least one year after treated seeds are planted.
LABELING OF TREATED SEED
The Federal Seed Act requires that the container of seed treated with Sepresto 75 WS must be labeled with the following statements:
• This seed has been treated with Sepresto 75 WS, which contains imidacloprid and clothianidin.
• Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil processing.
In addition, the US Environmental Protection Agency requires the following statements on the container of seed treated with Sep resto
75 WS:
• Regardless of the type of application (seed treatment, soil, or foliar) do not apply more than a total of 6 oz ai clothianidin or 8
oz ai imidacloprid per acre per cropping cycle.
• Store away from feeds and foodstuffs.
• Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes, socks, and chemical-resistant gloves when handling treated seed.
• Dispose of all excess treated seed. Left over treated seed may be double sown around the headland or buried away from
water sources in accordance with local requirements. Do not contaminate water bodies when disposing of planting equipment
washwaters.
• Dispose of seed packaging in accordance with local requirements.
• This compound is toxic to birds and mammals. Treated seeds exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to birds and
mammals. Cover or collect treated seeds spilled during loading.
• Treated areas may be replanted with any crop specified on both imidacloprid and clothianidin labels, or any crop for which a
tolerance exists for both active ingredients, as soon as practical following the last application. Areas planted with treated seed
may be replanted immediately with cotton, corn, rapeseed, sorghum, sugar beet, potato, cereal grains (Crop Group 15 except
rice), canola, and the following vegetable crops: root vegetables (Crop Group 1), bulb vegetables (Crop Group 3), leafy green
vegetables (Crop Group 4A), Brassica (cole) leafy vegetables (Crop Group 5), fruiting vegetables (Crop Group 8), cucurbit
vegetables (Crop Group 9). These areas may also be replanted after 30 days with soybeans, dried beans and dried peas. Do
not plant any other crop in the treated area for at least one year after treated seeds are planted.
