`split_non_commuting`'s expected `PyTreeDef` does not match observed `PyTreeDef`

• Expected behavior:

In pytest/test_transform.py, when changing @sum_expand in TestSumExpand to @qml.transforms.split_non_commuting as suggested by the warning, I expect the tree def to remain the same.

• Actual behavior: A tuple is returned instead of a list.

Start in frontend/test/pytest/test_transform.py, focusing on TestSumExpand and its qnode_builder. Compare the behavior of @sum_expand with @qml.transforms.split_non_commuting and run the relevant transform test. Done means the replacement produces the expected PyTreeDef rather than returning a tuple where a list is expected.
