chore: add CORE-003 roadmap task for mypy type safety

- Remove '|| true' from CI type-check job to enforce strict checking
- Begin type narrowing pattern in units.py with _typed property accessors
- Document all 42 type errors across 15 files in roadmap backlog
- Priority: medium, estimated 4-6 hours to complete

Type errors fall into categories:
- Union types not narrowed after __post_init__ coercion
- float() on object types
- Duplicate method definitions
- Provider interface type mismatches

+name: CORE-003 Mypy Type Safety
+description: |
+  Fix all mypy type errors to enable strict type checking in CI.
+  
+  Currently 42 errors in 15 files. The CI uses `|| true` to allow warnings,
+  but we should fix these properly with strong types and conversion functions.
+

+acceptance_criteria:
+  - mypy passes with 0 errors on app/core app/models app/strategies app/services
+  - CI type-check job passes without `|| true`
+  - All type narrowing uses proper patterns (properties, cast(), or isinstance checks)
+  - No duplicate method definitions

+implementation_notes: |
+  The root cause is that frozen dataclass fields with `Field: UnionType`
+  are not narrowed by `__post_init__` coercion. Mypy sees the declared
+  type, not the runtime type.
+  
+  Solutions:
+  1. Add `@property def _field_typed(self) -> NarrowType:` for internal use
+  2. Use `cast(NarrowType, self.field)` at call sites
+  3. Use `isinstance` checks before operations requiring narrow type
+  
+  Pattern example from units.py fix:
+  ```python
+  @property
+  def _unit_typed(self) -> WeightUnit:
+      """Type-narrowed unit accessor for internal use."""
+      return self.unit  # type: ignore[return-value]
+  
+  def to_unit(self, unit: WeightUnit) -> Weight:
+      return Weight(amount=convert_weight(self.amount, self._unit_typed, unit), unit=unit)
+  ```
