justin eaa7e0789b bayer_seeds: add Channel + DEKALB silage/sorghum/canola + Deltapine cotton
User flagged that Channel is expanding into their area — re-walked
the cropscience.bayer.us sitemap and found 8 additional brand×crop
paths beyond the original DEKALB/Asgrow/WestBred triple. Patches
the scraper to walk all of them; total Bayer varieties roughly
doubles from 475 to 931 and the corpus picks up first-ever
coverage in sorghum (36), cotton (30), canola (6), and silage as a
distinct crop (was conflated with corn before).

Net new varieties: 456
  Channel    corn=181  soy=67   silage=54  sorghum=18    (320)
  DEKALB     silage=82 sorghum=18  canola=6              (106)
  Deltapine  cotton=30                                    (30)

scrape/sources/bayer_seeds.py
- Replace `BRANDS` (brand → 1 path) and `CROP_SUFFIX` (brand → 1
  suffix) with a flatter `BRAND_PATHS` list of (brand, url_path,
  crop, is_primary_for_brand) entries. Channel and DEKALB are now
  multi-crop brands; the same scraper walks every brand×crop pair.
- source_key derivation: for a brand's PRIMARY crop, strip the
  trailing `-<crop>` suffix (matches the existing deployed source
  keys for DEKALB corn / Asgrow soy / WestBred wheat). For
  SECONDARY crops, KEEP the suffix so DEKALB-the-same-SKU sold as
  both grain corn and silage gets two distinct source_keys
  (collision-safe and unambiguous for `lookup_variety`).
- New `--crop` CLI filter for incremental backfills.
- Log line shows brand + crop alongside source_key for visibility.

rag/chunk.py
- Channel + Deltapine pages use slightly different characteristics
  group labels (DISEASE not DISEASE RATINGS, AGRONOMIC
  CHARACTERISTICS not GROWTH/HARVEST, plus MATURITY / ADAPTATION /
  HERBICIDES / OTHER). Fold them into the DISEASE / AGRONOMIC /
  MANAGEMENT label sets so the chunker buckets them correctly
  into the standard sections.

Smoke-tested cross-brand × cross-crop queries against the rebuilt
index (5,529 chunks total) — all 6 sample queries surface the
right brand+crop at top-3:
  Channel corn 110 RM       → 210-25TRE BRAND
  Channel soy 2.5 MG IA     → 2622RXF BRAND
  Deltapine cotton XF       → DP 1820 B3XF BRAND
  Sorghum dryland Kansas    → 6B95 BRAND (Channel)
  Silage corn WI dairy      → DKC64-44RIB BRAND BLEND (silage variant)
  Canola Northern Plains    → DK401TL BRAND

Watchtower will pull the new image on the next push; deploy is
unchanged otherwise.
