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).

PRODUCT INFORMATION

This product is a biological nematicide for the control of labeled plant-parasitic nematodes. Apply the product as a seed treatment prior to planting. The degree of control and nematode suppression depends upon the timing, rate, nematode species and soil type. Mobility of this product in the soil is influenced by the amount of rainfall/irrigation and the soil type. It will only control those nematodes that come into contact with the bacterium. This product is for the control of the following nematode:

Soybean Cyst Nematode Heterodera glycines

FOR USE AS A SEED TREATMENT

Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low vigor and poor quality, except for the purpose of curative control of existing disease pests, may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigor. Treat a small quantity of seed using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Conduct germination tests on a small portion of seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment. Due to seed quality, crop or variety sensitivity, and seed storage conditions beyond the control of manufacturer, no claims are made to guarantee the germination of carry-over seed or propagating material for all crop seed.

FOR USE AS A PRE-PLANT ON FARM SEED TREATMENT

Do not use treated seed for food or feed purposes or process for oil. Treat only those seeds needed for immediate use, minimizing the interval between treatment and planting. Do not store excess treated seed beyond planting time.

To achieve improved application coverage to the seed, dilute SOYACYST ™ WP Plus with water and apply directly to dry seed or mix with inoculants and/or other registered seed treatment coatings (e.g., colorants, polymers, etc.), insecticides and fungicides. Do not mix SOYACYST WP Plus with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. When tank -mixing with any other registered seed treatment insecticide and/or fungicide, alway s read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both SOYACYST WP Plus and the tank mix partner(s). The resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more

restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed label ed application rates.

SOYBEAN

For control of soybean cyst nematode, apply 0.09 to 3.5 oz of SOYACYST WP Plus per 100 lbs (2.5 to 100 grams per 45.4 kg) of soybean seed.

FOR USE AS A COMMERCIAL SEED TREATMENT

To achieve improved application coverage to the seed, dilute SOYACYST WP Plus with water and apply directly to dry seed or mix with inoculants and/or other registered seed treatment coatings (e.g., colorants, polymers, etc.), insecticides and fungicides. Do not mix SOYACYST WP Plus with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. When tank-mixing with any other registered seed treatment insecticide and/or fungicide, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both SOYACYST WP Plus and the tank mix partner(s). The resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed label dosage rates.

NOTE: This product does not contain dye. All seed treated commercially with this product must be colored with an EPA-approved dye or colorant of a suitable color to prevent accidental use as food for humans or feed for animals.

The Federal Seed Act requires that bags containing seed treated with this product shall be labeled with the following information: “This seed has been treated with Pasteuria nishizawae Pn1. Do not use for food, feed or oil purposes.”

SOYBEAN

For control of soybean cyst nematode, apply 0.09 to 3.5 oz of SOYACYST WP Plus per 100 lbs (2.5 to 100 grams per 45.4 kg) of soybean seed.
