+  Helix Work Item Scheduling Configuration
+  =========================================
+  Generated from analysis of build 1382230 (TestBuild: linux x64, ubuntu.2204.amd64.open).
+
+  MethodLimitMultiplier: Adjusts the assembly partitioning chunk size relative to the base
+    method limit (16 normal, 32 for TestFullMSBuild). Higher values produce fewer, larger
+    work items; lower values produce more, finer-grained work items.
+
+  EstimatedSecondsPerMethod: Used to estimate each work item's duration for longest-first
+    (LPT) scheduling. Items with the highest estimated cost are submitted first so Helix
+    machines pick them up before short items. Assemblies not listed use a default of 2.0.
+
+  To regenerate: run a CI build, query Helix for per-work-item durations, and compute
+  avg_duration / base_method_limit for each assembly.
