justin c737871c4c Trial-data scrapers: gh_plot_reports + agripro_trials + search_trials tool
This PR introduces TRIAL data — yield-performance results from real
field trials — as a SEPARATE data type alongside variety identity.
The two are complementary:

  search_docs  → "What's the disease resistance of DKC62-08RIB?"
                  (variety identity — what it IS)
  search_trials → "Which corn hybrid won the IA 2024 trials?"
                  (performance data — how it PERFORMED)

scrape/sources/gh_plot_reports.py — Golden Harvest plot reports
- 4,618 expected (2024+2025; 2023 deferred to a backfill pass).
- URL: /<crop>/plot-report/<state>/<year>/<plot_id>
- Cross-vendor: each plot lists products from multiple brands
  (NK / DEKALB / Golden Harvest / Enogen / Pioneer / Channel) side
  by side at one cooperator's field — the kind of independent
  comparison data Bayer doesn't publish itself.
- Generic per-column metrics dict (Yield/MST/Test Weight/$/Ac for
  corn+soy, Ton/Acre + Milk + Beef columns for silage).
- Politeness: 1 req/sec, retries on 429/5xx, no redirect-follow.

scrape/sources/agripro_trials.py — AgriPro regional trial PDFs
- 14 unique PDFs (38 sitemap links deduped) at /trials-data
- pdfplumber text extraction, region/year detection from filename
- Verbatim PDF text preserved in chunk body so variety + yield
  number adjacency drives retrieval (AP Iliad's Aberdeen ID yield
  matches a query about "AP Iliad Idaho yield")

rag/chunk.py — chunks_from_trial() dispatching by source
- Plot reports: identity preamble + Top-5 by primary metric + full
  ranking table. Metric labels chosen from the data (corn/soy use
  "Yield", silage uses "Ton/Acre").
- AgriPro PDFs: identity preamble + verbatim trial body inline so
  per-location yields surface for region+variety queries.
- Variety chunks get data_type="variety" metadata; trial chunks get
  data_type="trial". Single Chroma collection; the tool router
  filters by data_type rather than maintaining two collections.

rag/index.py — dispatch by sidecar's data_type field
rag/bm25.py — new filter columns (data_type, year, state)

docs_mcp/server.py — sixth MCP tool: search_trials(crop?, state?,
year?, product?, k=10)
- Filters trial chunks via where={"data_type": "trial", ...}
- Optional product substring post-filter for "DKC62-08RIB Iowa 2024"
  style searches
- search_docs now defaults to data_type="variety" so trial chunks
  don't bleed into variety identity queries
- Tool docstring routes the agent: "use lookup_variety to verify
  identity details on any trial winner you surface"

NK trial endpoint (/NKSeeds/wsProxy.asmx/GetPlotResult) is documented
as deferred — the ASMX-SOAP shape returned empty XML on initial
probe. Bayer per-variety yield data is not publicly indexed at all
— documented in the trial-scope note (DEKALB/Asgrow trial data flows
through Channel reps, not the web). AgRevival research books exist
as 10 large annual PDFs but are deferred (low ROI per parse).

Initial corpus shipped in this PR: 14 AgriPro trial PDFs. The 4,618
Golden Harvest plot reports are scraping in background and will be
added in a follow-up corpus-snapshot PR (~70 min ETA).

These agronomic assessments are made by Syngenta scientists and reflect each varietys relative performance within these characteristics through the 2025 crop year. Specific conditions may cause variations
within those characteristics. These relative protection values are based on current pest and disease populations. These have been known to shift periodically and may cause changes in specific evaluations.
Resistance to many other diseases and pests is sensitive to environmental conditions, plant development stages and the presence and intensity of other diseases which may result in specific evaluation
inconsistencies. This chart is updated annually to reflect the most current trends.

hybrid seed.
