Fix case sensitivity bug: S-expression node types are lowercase

Bug: S-expression plans produce lowercase node types (source, compound)
but code was checking uppercase (SOURCE, COMPOUND).

Fix: Use .upper() for node type comparisons.

Add TestNodeTypeCaseSensitivity tests to catch this regression.
