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,

image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh.

.gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md +

chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes).

.dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md,

DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF WATER SOLUBLE BAGS
PHASER® 50WSB Insecticide is a wettable powder formUlation individually packaged in 1-pound units in a translucent bag contained in
an outer package.
DO NOT OPEN WATER SOLUBLE BAGS,
DO NOT ALLOW THE INNER BAG TO BECOME WET BEFORE ADDING TO SPRAY OR NURSE TANK,
DO NOT HANDLE THE INNER BAG WITH WET HANDS OR WET GLOVES,
RESEAL OUTER BAG TO PROTECT REMAINING INNER BAG(S),
Fill the spray tank with one-half of the total amount of water to be used. Open the outer wrapper of each product container to be used.
Immediately dump the required number of bags into the spray tank,
Determine the total amount of PHASER® 50WSB Insecticide to be added to the spray tank, based on the rates in the crop
recommendations. For each pound of wettable powder to be added to the spray tank, use one 1-pound bag. For example, jf it is
determined that 10 pounds of PHASER® 50WSB Insecticide should be added to the spray tank, add ten 1-pound bags, Where rates
are expressed as fractions of pounds, prepare the tank load to the lower of the nearest whole pound.
Operate the agitator while mixing. Cooler water temperatures increase the time needed to completely dissolve the bags. Mix thoroughly
to fully disperse and suspend the wettable powder, Maintain agitation during storage in nurse or supply tank, and during application,
PHASER® 50WSB Insecticide is compatible with most commonly used pesticides and liquid fertilizers. However, the water-soluble
bags must be completely dissolved before adding any other products, Do not use PHASER® 50WSB Insecticide in a tank mix with
products containing boron, chromium, or other micronutrients.
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN CALIFORNIA.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
For California Use PHASER® 50WSB Insecticide
For Use In California.
Not for use or storage in or around residential sites, including homes, non-agricultural outbuildings, non-commercial
greenhouses, recreational vehicles, preschools, day care centers, and not for applications to humans and pets.
Apply the listed amount per acre when insects first appear and repeat as required, unless otherwise noted, to maintain effective control.
Use in sufficient water for thorough coverage of listed crops, unless otherwise noted. Coverage of upper and lower leaf surfaces is
essential for good control. For ground application, apply recommended amount of pesticide in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per
acre on vegetable or row crops, unless otherwise noted. Observe use limitations. If insect control is required beyond the following use
patterns. supplement the control program with other suitable pesticides.
