Objective

Implement merge_sorted_values, a function that merges two sorted integer lists.

Steps

• Create sorted_merge.py.
• Expose def merge_sorted_values(left: list[int], right: list[int]) -> list[int]:.
• Both input lists are already sorted in ascending order.
• Return a new list containing every value from both inputs in ascending order.
• Preserve duplicate values.
• Handle empty lists.
• Do not mutate either input list.
