# Builds anywhere: Hugging Face Spaces, Google Cloud Run, Fly.io, plain Docker.
# Retrieval is fully local and key-free; the optional CanLII case citator reads
# its key from the CANLII_API_KEY environment variable (supplied as a host
# secret -- the key is never copied into the image).

# Application code, the processed corpus (section-chunk JSON), and the prebuilt
# semantic embeddings (embeddings.npz, committed via git-LFS). Shipping the
# embeddings as an artifact keeps the build fast: embedding ~20k chunks on the
# build host took ~33 min and was tripping Hugging Face's job timeout as the
# corpus grew. Regenerate with 'python -m canlex.embed' after any corpus change
# and commit the result.
