Description

Can you provide the current transaction's state as a public interface? (started, committed, aborted, etc). I have some code that is doing some more complex transaction management, and needs to check if the transaction has been aborted.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating asyncpg's transaction implementation and public transaction API, then determine how states such as started, committed, and aborted should be represented and exposed. Done means callers can reliably inspect the current transaction state, with coverage for the requested lifecycle states.
