justin 75f714b454 Phase 4-5: deployable container + corpus snapshot + CI fixes
deploy/docker-compose.yml — replace <product>/<registry> placeholders
with concrete values for Drawbar's stack:
- image: git.jpaul.io/justin/seed-mcp:latest (CF tunnel for pulls; CI
  pushes via LAN 192.168.0.2:1234 to avoid 100 MB body cap)
- container_name: seed-mcp
- port 8001:8000 (8001 host-side to not collide with crop-chem-docs
  on 8000)
- PRODUCT_NAME=crop_seed, hybrid search enabled, stateless HTTP
- llama-rerank shared with crop-chem-docs (NOT redefined here —
  expected to already be in Drawbar's parent compose network)
- networks.drawbar-mcp external: true so seed-mcp joins the existing
  cross-MCP shared network

.gitignore — corpus/ is now COMMITTED, not ignored. The monthly
refresh workflow scrapes and commits corpus changes; the image-only
workflow rebuilds indexes from the committed corpus. Allowing the
corpus to flow through git means the :corpus-YYYY.MM.DD image tag
pins to a specific seed-catalog snapshot. chroma/ and bm25/ remain
ignored — those are deterministically derived from corpus.

Initial committed snapshot: 614 varieties.
- bayer_seeds: 475 (DEKALB 288 + Asgrow 102 + WestBred 85)
- golden_harvest: 139 (Syngenta corn + soy; 36 sitemap URLs
  302-redirected = discontinued)

rag/chunk.py — normalize brand and crop to uppercase/lowercase in
Chroma metadata so cross-vendor brand-filter lookups don't break on
casing inconsistency (Bayer stores "DEKALB", Golden Harvest stores
"Golden Harvest"; _build_where uppercases user-supplied brand which
matched the former but not the latter pre-fix). Sidecar JSON keeps
original casing for display.

Stub scrapers (nk, agripro, becks_pfr, becks_products) — change
return code from 2 to 0 so the monthly-refresh CI workflow doesn't
fail on deferred sources. Real implementations will return 0 on
success / 1 on failure when they ship.

Smoke-tested cross-vendor retrieval against the 614-chunk index:
- list_versions shows both vendors with correct facet counts
- broad "corn hybrid 100 RM" query returns both DEKALB and Golden
  Harvest hits in top 5
- brand='Golden Harvest' filter returns 3 GH-only varieties
- variety-code prefilter still works (E085Z5 → top hit on GH)

DKC66-06 BRAND


Positioning

DKC66-06 Brand is a 116 RM product that can offer strong yield potential with versatility across soil types and yield environments. Nice agronomic package including root strength, stalk strength, and greensnap tolerance has been shown.

Strengths & management

  • Versatile product that has shown strong yield potential across soil types and a response to higher management, including fertility
  • Has demonstrated very good performance in both irrigated and dryland environments
  • Can provide very nice grain quality and test weight; slower drydown may limit northern movement
  • Strong agronomic package including root and stalk strength and greensnap tolerance
  • Very good Northern Corn Leaf Blight and Gray Leaf Spot, and excellent Anthracnose Stalk Rot disease tolerance package
  • May consider a fungicide in high Southern Rust disease pressure areas
