/**
 * Normalize a parsed Hson root into a detached `LiveTree` branch.
 *
 * Structural wrapper nodes such as `_hson_root` and `_hson_elem` are unwrapped first so
 * the returned tree always points at one concrete branch root. Exactly one
 * concrete root element must remain after unwrapping.
 *
 * This is the detached-branch path used by `hson.liveTree.from*` entrypoints.
 * It does not graft into the existing live DOM.
 *
 * @param rootNode - Raw Hson root to validate and normalize.
 * @param opts - Internal proof that an immediately preceding parser or clone
 *               boundary already completed canonical QUID graph validation.
 * @returns A detached `LiveTree` rooted at the unwrapped concrete node.
