refactor: replace smuggled compound properties with typed FluentRelation API

fluent.ts: Add public getters isCompound, compoundOperator, compoundParts
  to FluentRelation. Add optional CompoundState to constructor. Add
  CompoundPart/CompoundState interfaces. Replace 4 (this as any)._xxx
  property smuggles in FluentCompoundBuilder._addPart() with properly
  typed constructor initialization via CompoundState.

fol-compiler.ts: Replace 3 (relation as any)._compoundParts /
  ._compoundOperator / ._isCompound duck-type reads with direct
  relation.compoundParts / relation.compoundOperator / relation.isCompound.

extraction.ts: Replace (rel as any)._compoundParts read in
  getSelectorsFromAssertion with typed compoundRel.isCompound /
  compoundRel.compoundParts access.

Eliminates 7 (as any) casts across 3 production files. Zero remaining
_compoundParts/_compoundOperator/_isCompound/_originalFirstRelation
smuggled references in any production source file.

598 SDK + 3 conformance + 57 E2E = 658 tests pass.
