Phase 1: Chemistry engine — elements, compounds, reactions

- 20 real elements from periodic table (H through Hg) with accurate data
- 25 compounds with game effects (NaCl, H₂O, gunpowder, thermite, etc.)
- 34 reactions: synthesis, combustion, acid-base, redox, decomposition
- Reaction engine with O(1) lookup by sorted reactant key
- Educational failure reasons (noble gas, missing heat/catalyst, wrong proportions)
- Condition system: temperature, catalyst, energy requirements
- 35 unit tests passing, TypeScript strict, zero errors
