fix: replace as-unknown-as casts with safer patterns (#9107)

## Summary

- Replace 83 `as unknown as` double casts with safer alternatives across
33 files
- Use `as Partial<X> as X` pattern where TypeScript allows it
- Create/reuse factory functions from `litegraphTestUtils.ts` for mock
objects
- Widen `getWorkflowDataFromFile` return type to include `ComfyMetadata`
directly
- Reduce total `as unknown as` count from ~153 to 71

The remaining 71 occurrences are genuinely necessary due to cross-schema
casts, generic variance, missing index signatures, Float64Array-to-tuple
conversions, and DOM type incompatibilities.

## Test plan

- [x] `pnpm typecheck` passes
- [x] `pnpm lint` passes
- [x] All affected unit tests pass
