## Problem
Index/list delete handlers currently wait for the database delete before updating the UI. `stream_delete` is used after the delete succeeds, so the interaction can feel slower than necessary.
Index/list delete handlers currently wait for the database delete before updating the UI. `stream_delete` is used after the delete succeeds, so the interaction can feel slower than necessary. Additionally, both callers use `{:ok, _} =` pattern match on `Records.delete_record/1` and `ListeningStats.delete_track/1` — if either returns `{:error, changeset}`, the LiveView process crashes.
Note: delete buttons already use `JS.hide(@hide_target)` before `JS.push("delete")` (RecordComponents line 708, scrobbled tracks line 145). This provides a client-side optimistic hide with no rollback — if the server delete fails, the row stays hidden despite the record still existing in DB. The server-side stream changes in this task provide the rollback mechanism.
This task is intentionally scoped to stream-backed list views only:

## handle_async signatures
Per project conventions, `handle_async` always handles three cases:
- `{:ok, {:ok, result}}` — delete succeeded, stream already clean, no-op
- `{:ok, {:error, reason}}` — delete returned error, reinsert + toast with `ErrorMessages.friendly_message/1`
- `{:exit, reason}` — task crashed, reinsert + generic error toast (do NOT leak `reason` to user)

## Implementation Plan
<!-- SECTION:PLAN:BEGIN -->
## Implementation Plan
### 1. `IndexActions.handle_delete/2` — shared path (collection + wishlist)
Replace the synchronous delete with optimistic stream_delete + start_async:
```elixir
def handle_delete(socket, id) do
record = Records.get_record!(id)
socket = stream_delete(socket, :records, record)
{:noreply, start_async(socket, {:delete_record, id}, fn ->
Records.delete_record(record)
end)}
end
```
Key: `{:delete_record, id}` as async key ensures uniqueness. The async closure captures `record` — the LiveView task supervisor holds the reference. Do NOT call `load_and_assign_records``stream_delete` already removes the item from the stream; a full reload would negate the performance benefit.
### 2. `CollectionLive.Index` — handle_async callbacks
Add three `handle_async` clauses after the existing `handle_async(:collection_summary, ...)` clauses:
```elixir
@impl true
def handle_async({:delete_record, id}, {:ok, {:ok, _record}}, socket) do
{:noreply, socket}
end
def handle_async({:delete_record, id}, {:ok, {:error, reason}}, socket) do
record = Records.get_record!(id)
{:noreply,
socket
|> stream_insert(:records, record)
|> put_toast(:error, gettext("Failed to delete: ") <> ErrorMessages.friendly_message(reason))}
end
def handle_async({:delete_record, id}, {:exit, _reason}, socket) do
record = Records.get_record!(id)
{:noreply,
socket
|> stream_insert(:records, record)
|> put_toast(:error, gettext("Delete failed, please try again"))}
end
```
Note: Both error cases re-fetch via `Records.get_record!(id)`. For `{:error, reason}`, the record was NOT deleted so re-fetch succeeds. For `{:exit, _reason}`, the task crashed — if the record was deleted before the crash, `get_record!` raises `Ecto.NoResultsError` which crashes the LiveView (acceptable: better than silently showing wrong state).
### 3. `WishlistLive.Index` — identical handle_async callbacks
Duplicate the same three `handle_async` clauses from `CollectionLive.Index`. Per project conventions, extraction at 2 callers is premature; extract to `IndexActions` only when a third index page needs it.
### 4. `ScrobbledTracksLive.Index` — separate async path
Replace the synchronous delete handler:
```elixir
def handle_event("delete", %{"scrobbled-at-uts" => scrobbled_at_uts}, socket) do
track = ListeningStats.get_track!(scrobbled_at_uts)
stream_element = %{track: track}
socket = stream_delete(socket, :tracks, stream_element)
{:noreply, start_async(socket, {:delete_track, scrobbled_at_uts}, fn ->
{ListeningStats.delete_track(track), stream_element}
end)}
end
```
Add three `handle_async` clauses:
```elixir
@impl true
def handle_async({:delete_track, _uts}, {:ok, {{:ok, _track}, _element}}, socket) do
{:noreply, socket}
end
def handle_async({:delete_track, _uts}, {:ok, {{:error, reason}, element}}, socket) do
{:noreply,
socket
|> stream_insert(:tracks, element)
|> put_toast(:error, gettext("Failed to delete: ") <> ErrorMessages.friendly_message(reason))}
end
def handle_async({:delete_track, _uts}, {:exit, _reason}, socket) do
{:noreply, put_toast(socket, :error, gettext("Delete failed, please try again"))}
end
```
Key differences from records path:
- Passes `stream_element` through async tuple so rollback uses the exact same map shape without re-running correlated subqueries (audit Finding 7)
- `{:exit, _reason}` cannot recover the stream element — accept this limitation and show error toast only. A full `load_and_assign_tracks` reload would trigger the expensive correlated subqueries.
### 5. Tests
Currently **zero delete test coverage** across all three index test files. Add:
| # | Test | File |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | Delete record from collection grid (success) | `collection_live/index_test.exs` |
| 2 | Delete record from wishlist (success) | `wishlist_live/index_test.exs` |
| 3 | Delete scrobbled track (success) | `scrobbled_tracks_live/index_test.exs` |
| 4 | handle_async `{:ok, {:ok, ...}}` is no-op | `collection_live/index_test.exs` (unit test) |
| 5 | handle_async `{:ok, {:error, ...}}` reinserts + toasts | `collection_live/index_test.exs` (unit test) |
| 6 | handle_async `{:exit, ...}` reinserts + toasts | `collection_live/index_test.exs` (unit test) |
| 7 | handle_async exit uses generic message (not reason) | `collection_live/index_test.exs` (unit test) |
| 8 | `data-confirm` attribute present on delete buttons | `collection_live/index_test.exs` (AC #4 regression) |
| 9 | Show page delete unchanged (still synchronous) | `collection_live/show_test.exs` (AC #5 regression) |
Integration tests (tests 1-3): click delete button inside dropdown, verify `refute_has` for the record/track ID, verify record is actually deleted from DB via context module.
Unit tests (tests 4-7): import the LiveView module, call `handle_async/3` directly with simulated results, assert socket state (stream contents, toast message). This is the preferred approach for testing failure paths since mocking `Repo.delete` is invasive.
Test 7 specifically asserts that `{:exit, :killed}` produces a generic gettext string, not the raw exit reason — this prevents accidental stacktrace leakage to users.
