Split array minimize maximum load

CodingDistributed systemsAlgorithms & data structuresMid–Senior~30 min

Split the array nums into at most k non-empty contiguous subarrays. The 'load' of a split is the largest subarray sum. Return the minimum possible load. 1 <= len(nums) <= 1000, 1 <= k <= len(nums), 0 <= nums[i] <= 10^6.

Implement
min_largest_split(nums: list[int], k: int) → int

What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
