+/**
+ * Detach an active `std::optional<SpanGuard>` member in place.
+ *
+ * Equivalent to `guard.emplace(std::move(*guard).detached())`, which is the
+ * required idiom for detaching a live guard stored in an `optional` (move
+ * assignment is deleted because the underlying Scope cannot be re-scoped in
+ * place). No-op if `guard` is empty or already null.
+ *
+ * @param guard  The optional guard to detach. Must be called on the thread
+ *               that constructed the active guard inside it (same rule as
+ *               `SpanGuard::detached()`).
+ * @note Must run BEFORE any `captureContext()` snapshot is taken if the
+ *       caller also needs the pre-detach context — capture first, then call
+ *       this helper (same ordering rule `detached()` itself has).
