+"""Distribute a list of items across N parallel runners using LPT scheduling.
+
+Generic item distribution for CI matrix jobs. Items are read from a JSON
+array on stdin (or from a file via --items-file), sorted for deterministic
+ordering, then assigned to *max_runners* groups using LPT (Longest
+Processing Time first) scheduling.
+
+Each item is a string (e.g. an Ansible ``--limit`` pattern like
+``observability`` or ``infra-314-vm``). Optionally, items can be objects
+with ``{"id": "...", "weight": N}`` to provide explicit weights.
+
+The assigned group for *runner_index* is written to ``$GITHUB_ENV`` as
+``ASSIGNED_ITEMS`` (space-delimited) for use by subsequent steps.
+
+Usage::
+
+    echo '["observability", "infra-314-vm"]' | \\
+        python3 -m devx.ci.distribute_items \\
+        --runner-index 1 --max-runners 3 \\
+        --github-env --skip-if-excess
