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

the fertilizer for thorough coverage and avoid spray contact with m1x1ng
equipment. Uniform impregnation of "GEMINI" to dry bulk fertilizer will
vary, and if the adsorptivity is not adequate, the use of an adsorptive
powder may t required to produce a dry freeflowing mixture. Microcel E
(Jonns Manville Product Corporation) is the recommended absorbent powder.
"GEMINI" should be pre-mixed with water to form a sprayable mixture. Whel1
another herbicide is used with "GEMINI", mix lind impregnat".e immediately.
Clean Out· Before using equipment to ap~ly fertilizer or herbicide
impregnated fertilizer to another crop other than soybeans, at least 1,000
Ibs. of fertilizer not treated with "GEMINI" must be run through the
application equipment and impregnation dr~m. All equipment containing the
herbicide slurry should be cleaned out in accordance with the "GEMINI"
recommendations for application with liquid delivery systems.
Apply immediately after i:.lpregnation unless experience has shown that
impregnated fe1'tilizer can be stored without becoming lumpy and difficult to
spread.
Rates; Select the rate of "GEMINI" to apply per acre from the appropriate
section of this label and refer to the rate table to determine the amount of
"GEMINI" which is to be impregnated on a ton of dry bulk fertilizer based on
the amount of fertilizer which will be distributed on one acre.
