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).

a) In the ingredients statement, in the formula name for
ENI)()SULFAN add "-3-" between .... thiepin .. and "oxide"
[Do not include the quotation marks appearing around text
specified in this letter when preparing your revised
labeling]. Also, revise ACTIVE INGREDIENTS to ACTIVE
INGREDIENT, since there is only one. Add an asterisk after
INERT INGREDIENTS which refers down to a footnote under the
ingredients &t,,':ement which should read "'Contains Xylene

mixing or loading.
d) Revise the statement of Practical Treatment to read as
follows (retain the Note to Physician in its present form):

two separate alphabetical listings for vegetables and fruits
(with three errors in alphabetical listing - Celery after
Cotton, Grapes after Plums, and Pears after Plums; and
strawberries appearing in the vegetable listing), add the
heading Veqetable and Pield crops over Alf~lfa, and the
heading Fruits above Apples.
i) For Alfalfa, add IIOTB: before "Do not apply more than •• ".
