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).

PRODUCT INFORMATION A253.04 is a broad-spectrum product containing two fungicides. It has preventative, systemic and curative p r o p e r t i e s a n d i s r e c o m m e n d e d f o r t h e c o n t r o l o f m a n y i m p o r t a n t plant diseases. A253.04 provides excellent disease control of many leaf spots and powdery mildews. A253.04 is applied as a foliar spray and can be used in block, alternating spray or tank-mix programs with other crop p rotection products. All applications must be made according to the use directions that follow.

USE PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES. ATTENTION A253.04 is extremely phytotoxic to certain apple varieties.

AVOID SPRAY DRIFT. Extreme care must be used to prevent injury to apple trees (and apple fruit).

DO NOT spray A253.04 where spray drift may reach apple trees.

DO NOT spray when conditions favor drift beyond area intended f or application. Conditions which may contribute to drift include thermal inversion, wind speed and direction, s prayer nozzle/pressure combinations, spray droplet size, etc. Contact your State Extension Agent for spray drift prevention guidelines in your area.

DO NOT use spray equipment which has been previously used to ap ply A253.04 to spray apple trees. Even trace amounts can cause unacceptable phytotoxicity to certain apple and crabapple varieties.

AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.

USE INFORMATION Application: Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease contro l. Make no more spray solution than is needed for application. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may occur.

Adjuvants: When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets the standards of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant certification program is recommended.

Use of Adjuvants: Under certain weather conditions (particularly high temperatu res) A253.04 in combination with high rates of silicone-based or oil containing (petroleum or cr op) additives or adjuvants may cause injury. Do not exceed 0.125% adjuvant (v/v). Consult an Atticus, LLC representative for more information concerning additives or adjuvants.

A tank mixture with Dimethoate may cause crop injury.

On fresh market tomatoes, do not use adjuvants or tank mix A253.04 with any EC product.

Efficacy: Under certain conditions conducive to extended infection peri ods, use another registered fungicide for additional applications if the maximum amount of A253.04 has been used. If resistant isolates to Group 3 or Group 11 fungicides are present, efficacy can be reduced for certain diseases. The higher rates in the rate range and/or shorter spray intervals may be required under conditions of hea vy infection pressure, with highly susceptible varieties, or when environmental conditions are conducive to disease.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM): A253.04 should be integrated into an overall disease and pest manageme nt strategy whenever the use of a fungicide is required. Cultural practices known to reduce disease development should b e f o l l o w e d .

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT AZOXYSTROBIN GROUP 11 FUNGICIDE DIFENOCONAZOLE GROUP 3 FUNGICIDE

For resistance management, please note that A253.04 contains both azoxystrobin, a strobilurin fungicide in Group 11 and difenoconazole, a triazole fungicide in Group 3. Any fun gal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to either or both of the active ingredients in A253.04 and other Group 11 or Group 3 fungicides. A gradual o r t o t a l l o s s o f p e s t c o n t r o l m a y o c c u r o v e r t i m e i f t h e s e f u n gi c i d e s a r e u s e d r e p e a t e d l y i n t h e s a m e f i e l d s . Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.

As part of a resistance management strategy: x Apply a maximum of 4 sprays during one crop cycle. x Apply no more than 2 sequential applications unless otherwise stated in the crop section. x R o t a t e t h e u s e o f A253.04 or other Group 3 and 11 fungicides within a growing season seq uence with different groups that control the same pathogens. x Use tank mixtures with fungicides from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rat e as labeled by the manufacturer. x Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide us e that includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and wh ich considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices. x Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance. x Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development. x C o n t a c t y o u r l o c a l e x t e n s i o n s p e c i a l i s t o r c e r t i f i e d c r o p a d v i sor for any additional pesticide resistance- management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pa thogens. x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Atticus, LLC at 984-465-4754.

A253.04 Alone (No Tank Mix) x Add 1/2 - 2/3 of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. x With the agitator running, add A253.04 to the tank. x Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. x Begin application of the spray solution after A253.04 has completely dispersed into the mix water. x Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed.

A253.04 + Tank Mixtures: A253.04 is usually compatible with all tank-mix partners listed on this label. To determine the physical compatibility of A253.04 with other products, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, add th e proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt of water. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After tho roughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is phys ically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank.

It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all pr oducts are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directio ns for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture . Mixing in the Spray Tank

Operating Instructions

The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum reli ef valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent watersource contamination from backflow.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, a utomatic, quickclosing check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a function al, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation s ystem is either automatically or manually shut down.
The system must contain functi onal interlocking controls to a utomatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional p ressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displace ment injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that a re compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area int ended for treatment.

Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment

Notes: (1) Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water dis tribution. (2) Do not use end guns when chemigating A253.04 through center pivot systems because of non-uniform applicatio n. x Determine the size of the area to be treated. x Determine the time required to apply 1/8 - 1/2 inch of water ov er the area to be treated when the system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as rec ommended by the equipment manufacturer. When applying A253.04 through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. Run the system a t 80-95% of the manufacturer’s rated capacity. x Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal line pressure. x Determine the amount of A253.04 required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system.

x Add the required amount of A253.04 and sufficient water to meet the injection time requirements to the solution tank. x Make sure the system is fully charged with water before startin g injection of the A253.04 solution. Time the injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the system to full pressure. x Maintain constant solution tank agitation during the injection period. x Continue to operate the system until the A253.04 solution has cleared the sprinkler head.

Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation Equipment x Determine the acreage covered by the sprinklers. x Fill injector solution tank with water and adjust flow rate to use the contents over a 20- to 30-minute interval. When applying A253.04 through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. x Determine the amount of A253.04 required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. x Add the required amount of A253.04 into the same quantity of water used to calibrate the injection period. x Operate the system at the same pressure and time interval established during the calibration. x Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system until the A253.04 solution has cleared the last sprinkler head.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
