# Transactional key-value store
Implement a file **`solution.py`** containing a class `KVStore` that behaves like an in-memory
key-value map with **nested transactions**.
```python
class KVStore:
def __init__(self): ...
def get(self, key): ... # current value, or None if absent
def set(self, key, value): ...
def delete(self, key): ... # remove key (no-op if absent)
def keys(self): ... # sorted list of currently-visible keys
def __len__(self): ... # number of currently-visible keys
def begin(self): ... # open a new (nested) transaction
def commit(self): ... # merge the innermost open transaction into its parent
def rollback(self): ... # discard the innermost open transaction
```
## Semantics
- With **no open transaction**, `set`/`delete` mutate the committed store directly.
- `begin()` opens a transaction. Transactions **nest**: a second `begin()` opens a child of the
first. All `set`/`delete` calls apply to the **innermost** open transaction only.
- `get`, `keys`, and `__len__` always reflect the **currently-visible** state: the committed store
overlaid by every open transaction in order (innermost wins). A key `delete`d in an open
transaction is invisible even if it exists in the committed store.
- `commit()` merges the innermost transaction's changes (both sets and deletes) into its parent
(the enclosing transaction, or the committed store if it was the outermost). The transaction is
then closed.
- `rollback()` discards the innermost transaction's changes entirely and closes it.
- `commit()` or `rollback()` with **no open transaction** must raise `RuntimeError`.
- `keys()` returns the visible keys in **sorted order**.
## Example
```python
s = KVStore()
s.set("a", 1)
s.begin()
s.set("a", 2)
s.set("b", 3)
assert s.get("a") == 2 # innermost transaction wins
s.begin()
s.delete("a")
assert s.get("a") is None # deleted in the inner transaction
assert s.get("b") == 3 # still visible from the outer transaction
s.rollback() # discard the inner transaction
assert s.get("a") == 2 # back to the outer transaction's value
s.commit() # merge outer transaction into the committed store
assert s.get("a") == 2 and s.get("b") == 3
assert s.keys() == ["a", "b"]
```

You are an expert programmer. Solve the task exactly as specified. Output your solution as fenced code blocks using the required file name(s) and the exact function/type signatures requested. Prefer correctness; do not include prose outside code unless asked.
Proposed solution
```python
class KVStore:

# The committed store (base layer)
self._store = {}
# Stack of transactions: each transaction is a dict of changes
# Each entry maps key -> value (or None for delete operations)
self._transactions = []
def get(self, key):
# Check from innermost to outermost transaction first
for txn in reversed(self._transactions):
if key in txn:
val = txn[key]
return val # None means deleted, otherwise return the value
# If not found in any transaction, check the committed store
return self._store.get(key)
def set(self, key, value):
# If there's an open transaction, apply to the innermost one
if self._transactions:
self._transactions[-1][key] = value
else:
# Otherwise, apply directly to the committed store
self._store[key] = value
def delete(self, key):
# If there's an open transaction, mark as deleted (None) in the innermost one
if self._transactions:
self._transactions[-1][key] = None
else:
# Otherwise, delete from the committed store if present
if key in self._store:
del self._store[key]
def keys(self):
# Collect all keys visible in the current state
result = set()
# First add keys from the committed store
result.update(self._store.keys())
# Then overlay with transaction changes (innermost first)
for txn in reversed(self._transactions):
for key, value in txn.items():
if value is None:
# Delete operation: remove key if present
result.discard(key)
else:
# Set operation: add or update key
result.add(key)
return sorted(result)
def __len__(self):
return len(self.keys())

for key, value in innermost_txn.items():
parent_txn[key] = value
else:
# No parent transaction: merge into the committed store
for key, value in innermost_txn.items():
if value is None:
