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).

Subject: PRIA Label Amendment Afidopyropen: Amended Tolerance in/on Strawberry
Product Name: Sefina®Insecticide
EPA Registration Number: 7969-391
Application Date: September 27, 2024
Petition Number: 4F9153
Action Case Numbers: 631822 & 631829
Dear Amy Dugger-Webster:
The application referred to above, submitted under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable under FIFRA section 3(c)(5).
You must submit and/or cite all data required for registration/reregistration/registration review
of your product when the Agency requires all registrants of similar products to submit such
data.
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all
previously accepted labeling. You must submit one (1) copy of the final printed labeling before
you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR §
152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the previously approved labeling for
18 months from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you may only distribute or sell this
product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved labeling. “To distribute or
sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40 CFR § 152.3.
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the companys website on your label, then please
be aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the
Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to
sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of
statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website
is referenced on your products label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ

EPA Reg. No. 7969-391
Action Case Nos. 631822 & 631829
from those claims approved through the registration process. Therefore, should the Agency find
or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or
claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the website will be referred
to the EPAs Office of Enforcement and Compliance.
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these
conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance
with FIFRA section 6.
If you have any questions, please contact Carmen Rodia via e-mail at Rodia.Carmen@epa.gov.
Sincerely,
Ideliz Negrón-Encarnación, Ph.D.
