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).

USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using to bacco or using the toilet. Users should remove clothing
immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Applying this product when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will
help reduce potential risk to aquatic invertebrates by reducing pesticide runoff from the treatment area into water bodies. Do not
apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not
contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. Drift or run-off from treated areas is hazardous to fish and aquatic
organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Treated seed exposed on the soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or
collect seeds spilled during loading.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may
be in the area during application. Not for use on agricultural establishments in hopper-box, planter-box, slurry-box or other seed treatment
applications at or immediately before planting. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency respons ible for
pesticide regulation.

LABELING OF TREATED SEED
Seed commercially treated with TRIFLOXYSTROBIN Flowable Fungicide must be labeled in accordance with all applicable requirements
of the Federal Seed Act. All bags containing treated seed must be labeled or tagged as follows:
x This seed has been treated with trifloxystrobin.
x Do not use for feed, food or oil processing.
x Store away from feeds and other foodstuffs.
x When opening this bag or loading/pouring the treated seed, wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes, socks, and chemical
resistant gloves. After the seeds have been planted, do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry
interval of 12 hours. Exception: Once the seeds are planted in so il or other planting media, the Worker Protection Standard all ows
workers to enter the treated area without restriction if there will be no worker contact with the treated seeds in the soil or planting
media.
FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT (FRAC) RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, please note that TRIFLOXYSTROBIN Fl owable Fungicide contains a Group 11 fungicide. Any fungal
population may contain individuals naturally resistant to TRIFL OXYSTROBIN Flowable Fungicide and other Group 11 fungicides. A
gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if thes e (fungicides) are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropr iate
resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
x Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide use th at includes scouting, uses historical information related to
pesticide use, and crop rotation, and which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease
development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
x Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advi sor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM
recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992- 2937). You
can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.
