    """Environment transform parent class.

    In principle, a transform receives a tensordict as input and returns (
    the same or another) tensordict as output, where a series of values have
    been modified or created with a new key. When instantiating a new
    transform, the keys that are to be read from are passed to the
    constructor via the :obj:`keys` argument.

    Transforms are to be combined with their target environments with the
    TransformedEnv class, which takes as arguments an :obj:`EnvBase` instance
    and a transform. If multiple transforms are to be used, they can be
    concatenated using the :obj:`Compose` class.
    A transform can be stateless or stateful (e.g. CatTransform). Because of
    this, Transforms support the :obj:`reset` operation, which should reset the
    transform to its initial state (such that successive trajectories are kept
    independent).

    Notably, :obj:`Transform` subclasses take care of transforming the affected
    specs from an environment: when querying
    `transformed_env.observation_spec`, the resulting objects will describe
    the specs of the transformed_in tensors.

    """Projects discrete actions from a high dimensional space to a low dimensional space.

    Given a discrete action (from 1 to N) encoded as a one-hot vector and a
    maximum action index M (with M < N), transforms the action such that
    action_out is at most M.

    If the input action is > M, it is being replaced by a random value
    between N and M. Otherwise the same action is kept.
    This is intended to be used with policies applied over multiple discrete
    control environments with different action space.
