WF 34551.85 step2 failure with FatalRootError #51638

Description

@dan131riley

WF 34551.85 step2 (which I believe is heavy ion) has a new failure in the CMSSW_20_1_X_2026-08-05-2300 IBs:

----- Begin Fatal Exception 06-Aug-2026 02:48:31 CEST-----------------------
An exception of category 'FatalRootError' occurred while
   [0] Processing  Event run: 1 lumi: 53 event: 53 stream: 1
   [1] Running path 'FEVTDEBUGHLToutput_step'
   [2] Calling method for module PoolOutputModule/'FEVTDEBUGHLToutput'
   Additional Info:
      [a] Fatal Root Error: @SUB=TBufferFile::WriteByteCount
bytecount too large (more than 1073741822)

----- End Fatal Exception -------------------------------------------------

It appears in all variants, so is highly repeatable. New PRs in that IB are #51627, #51563, and #51562. #51562 "Enable the MC-truth graph with configurable event-content levels" seems like the most likely to have changed the output record size.
