+"""Disjoint Set Union with rollback (persistent, undoable).
+
+Subtle point: rollback requires union by SIZE/RANK only — path compression
+is incompatible with undo because it mutates parents in a way that cannot be
+cheaply reversed. This implementation uses union by size and records enough
+state to undo each union in O(1).
+
+API:
+  DSU(n)
+  find(x) -> root (no path compression)
+  union(a, b) -> bool  (True if merged)
+  snapshot() -> int (marker)
+  rollback(marker) -> None (revert to marker)
+  size(x) -> component size
+  connected(a, b) -> bool
