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).

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
This material contains a cholinesterase inhibitor. Measurement of blood cholinesterase activity may be useful in
monitoring exposure but decisions regarding treatment will usually need to be made before test results are
available. If signs of cholinesterase inhibition appear, atropine sulfate is antidotal. 2-P AM (PROTOPAM) is also
antidotal and may be used in conjunction with atropine but should not be used alone.

WATER SOLUBLE PACKAGING
MULTIPLE PACKAGING
This bag contains multiple water soluble packets of ORTHENE 90 S. Do not handle the packets with
wet gloves or allow the packets to become wet prior to addition to spray tank. Do not break open
packets. Refer to the Tables of Equivalents to calculate the number of packets to use. If all packets are
not used, close and reseal outer bag to protect remaining packet(s).
SINGLE PACKAGING
This packet contains one water soluble packet of ORTHENE 90 S. Do not handle the packet with wet
gloves or allow the packet to become wet prior to addition to spray tank. Do not break open packets.
Refer to the Tables of Equivalents to calculate the number of packets to use. Open outer bag by pulling
perforated tearstrip and drop the unopened inner packet of ORTHENE 90 S into spray tank.
PREPARATION OF SPRAY SOLUTION
To prepare spray solution, drop the unopened packet(s) of ORTHENE 90 S into a spray tank containing at least
one-half the total quantity of water required. Direct water at the floating packet(s) and continue to add water with
the agitator running until the spray volume is reached. Do not add any liquid fertilizers, micronutrients or
adjuvants to the spray solution until after the packet and its contents have completely dissolved. Water
soluble packet(s) should completely dissolve in approximately five minutes. Dissolution rate may be slowed by
cold water, lack of agitation or water containing high concentrations of boron or sulfur.

USE INFORMATION
ORTHENE 90 S a soluble powder is an insecticide for control of pests on selected agricultural crops and in
certain non-crop areas. The active ingredient in ORTHENE 90 S is acephate, a water-soluble insecticide readily
absorbed by plant roots and foliage to give systemic control of feeding insects. Insect pests are generally
controlled more effectively by ORTHENE 90 S through ingestion than by contact. Application of ORTHENE 90
S to maintain control should be repeated only as directed.
8974.20130213 revisions per EPA email Mar 21, 2013 Page 5 of43
r[The following paragraph is for ornamental use labels only.]
To ensure that ORTHENE 90 S, a soluble powder, is compatible with the variety or cultivar of the listed
ornamental crops under your specific conditions, test the product on a limited scale and observe for phytotoxicity
over two weeks before making large scale applications. The large number of existing ornamental varieties and
cultivars coupled with the constant introduction of new variants precludes specific testing of each type. It is
impossible to field test this product in every locale where sold or in all of the combinations created by differences
including those in soil or media type, pH, moisture of fertility, environment conditions such as temperature,
lighting or degree days and horticultural practice including planting dates, control of other pests, timing of various
horticultural practice and the manner of use and application of this product.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY
RESULT IN POOR INSECT CONTROL, CROP INJURY AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
USE RESTRICTIONS
o For use on turf, use limited to sod farms and golf courses, except when applying to mound or spot
treatment for fire ant and harvester ant control.
e Do not apply with low pressure handwand except for control of fire ants as a mound treatment and when
used on ornamental trees, shrubs and floral plants grown for non-agricultural or non-commercial use.
• Not for indoor residential use. For greenhouse use, use is limited to commercial greenhouses for use on
ornamental, floral and foliage plants and tobacco (float bed application).
CHEMIGATION
Apply to Cranberries only by sprinkler irrigation systems. Do not apply by chemigation to any other crop,
or this crop using any other type of irrigation system.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Do not allow spray to drift from the application site and contact people, structures people occupy at any time and
the associated property, parks and recreation areas, nontarget crops, aquatic and wetland areas, woodlands,
pastures, rangelands, or animals.A variety of factors including weather conditions, (e.g., wind direction, wind
speed, temperature, relative humidity) and method of application (e.g., ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can
influence pesticide drift. The applicator and grower must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments
when applying this product.
• All aerial, ground and air-assisted/airblast application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated
using water as carrier. Use the largest droplet size consistent with good pest control. Small droplets are more
prone to spray drift and can be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from
the air stream as, much as possible, and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure.
• Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 10 mph at the application site.
• Apply as close to target plants as practical to obtain a good spray pattern for adequate coverage.
• For aerial applications, do not apply at heights greater than 10 ft. (consistent with flight safety).
e For airblast applications, direct spray above foliage and turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and
outer rows. Apply only when wind speed is 3 to 10 mph at the application site as measured by an
aneomometer outside of the treated area on the upwind side.
• For aerial applications, the spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by
wing tip vortices. The minimum boom length should be used and must not exceed 75% of wing span or rotor
diameter. The boom width must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotary blade. Use upwind
swath displacement and apply only when wind speed is 3 to 10 mph as measured by an anemometer. Use
medium or coarser spray according to ASAE 572 definition for standard nozzles or VMD for spinning
atomizer nozzles. If application includes a no-spray zone, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet
above the ground.
• For ground boom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop
canopy and when wind speed is 10 mph or less at the application site as measured by an anemometer. Use
medium or coarser spray according to ASAE 572 definition for standard nozzles or VMD for spinning
atomizer nozzles.The applicator also must use all other measures necessary to control drift.

RESISTANCE-MANAGEMENT
Cotton pest control programs, especially those for control of silverleaf whitefly populations, should employ a
properly designed resistance-management strategy. Such resistance-management strategies include mixture or
rotation of alternative classes of chemistry including organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids or insect growth
regulators. Consult your state or area agricultural extension service for local resistance management strategies and
advice on alternative insecticides.

Chemigation: Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used, for pesticide application to a public water system unless
the label prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall
shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to
prevent water source contamination from backflow.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the
injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, 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 system is
either automatically or manually shut down.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor
stops.
The irrigation line line or water pump must include a functional pressure 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 displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed
of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors-drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Solid Set System: Apply specified dosage for the entire length of the irrigation period or for a 30 to 60 minute period at the end of a regular
irrigation set or as a 30 to 60 minute injection as a separate application not associated with a regular irrigation. Allow time for all lines to flush
the pesticide through all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. To ensure the lines are flushed and free of remaining pesticide, a dye
indicator may be injected into the lines to mark the end of the application period. See NOTE.
Center Pivot Systems: Inject the specified dosage per acre continuously for one complete revolution of the system. See NOTE.
NOTE: Constant agitation must be maintained in the chemical supply tank during the entire period of insecticide application. Inject the product
with a positive displacement pump into the main line ahead of a right turn to ensure adequate mixing.
Application of more than label-recommended quantities of irrigation water per acre may result in decreased product performance by
removing the chemical from the zone of effectiveness. •

limitations and precautions are observed,
and provided no label dosage rates are

To determine physical compatibility, pour
the recommended proportions of each
chemical with the same proportion of
water as will be present in the chemical
supply tank into a suitable container, mix
thoroughly and allow to stand for 5
minutes. If the combination remains
mixed, or can be remixed readily, the
mixture is considered physically
compatible. When mixing wettable
powder or dry flowable formulations add
and disperse these first, then add liquid
pesticides. Conduct another compatibility
test at concentrations which will be
present in the irrigation lines. If there is
any separation which cannot be remixed
readily, AMVAC recommends that the
combination not be used.
Combinations should be kept agitated and
should be applied immediately. Do not
allow combinations to set for prolonged
periods in the chemical supply tank or

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
This material contains a cholinesterase inhibitor. Measurement of blood cholinesterase activity may be useful in
monitoring exposure but decisions regarding treatment will usually need to be made before test results are
available. If signs of cholinesterase inhibition appear, atropine sulfate is antidotal. 2-PAM (PROTOPAM) is also
antidotal and may be used in conjunction with atropine but should not be used alone.

ORTHENE 90 S a soluble powder is an insecticide for control of pests on selected agricultural crops and in
certain non-crop areas. The active ingredient in ORTHENE 90 S is acephate, a water-soluble insecticide
readily absorbed by plant roots and foliage to give systemic control of feeding insects. Insect pests are
generally controlled more effectively by ORTFfENE 90 S through ingestion than by contact. Application of
ORTHENE 90 S to maintain control should be repeated only as directed.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY
RESULT IN POOR INSECT CONTROL, CROP INJURY AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
