# Priority-Level Load Balancing
#
# Defines primary and failover endpoint tiers. Traffic uses the
# highest-priority (lowest-number) tier exclusively until its healthy
# capacity drops below the overprovisioning threshold, then spills to
# the next tier.
#
# overprovisioning_factor=140 means traffic spills when a tier's
# healthy% < 100/140 ≈ 71%.
