ML-168: broadcast index_changed event after background import

Import workers now broadcast :records_index_changed on
"records:index_changed" after successful import via
Records.broadcast_index_changed/0.

CollectionLive.Index and WishlistLive.Index subscribe to the
topic in mount/3 and reload their record streams on receipt,
with a live_action guard to skip reloads when the grid is
hidden behind a modal (:import, :barcode_scan).

IndexActions.handle_index_changed/1 refreshes total_entries
before reloading to keep the pagination bar accurate.

 ## Documentation Updates
 
 - `docs/architecture.md`: Add `"records:index_changed"` to PubSub Topics table.
+
+**2026-05-14 — Implementation complete**
+
+All 7 steps implemented:
+
+1. ✅ `broadcast_index_changed/0` added to `lib/music_library/records.ex`
+2. ✅ `subscribe_to_index/0` added to `lib/music_library/records.ex`
+3. ✅ `handle_index_changed/1` added to `lib/music_library_web/live_helpers/index_actions.ex` (refreshes `total_entries` before reload)
+4. ✅ Subscription + guarded `handle_info` in `CollectionLive.Index` (guard: `[:index, :edit]`)
+5. ✅ Subscription + guarded `handle_info` in `WishlistLive.Index` (guard: `[:index, :edit]`)
+6. ✅ Both import workers call `Records.broadcast_index_changed()` after `{:ok, _record}`
+7. ✅ Tests added:
+   - `records_test.exs`: PubSub broadcast/receive round-trip
+   - `import_from_musicbrainz_release_test.exs`: asserts broadcast after success
+   - `import_from_musicbrainz_release_group_test.exs`: asserts broadcast after success
+   - `collection_live/index_test.exs`: reloads stream on `:index`, no-op on `:import`
+   - `wishlist_live/index_test.exs`: reloads stream on `:index`, no-op on `:import`
+
+Full test suite: **981 passed, 0 failures**
+
+`docs/architecture.md`: Added `"records:index_changed"` row to PubSub Topics table.
+
+**Remaining for acceptance criteria #1-#3**: Manual browser verification required — import 2+ records via cart and barcode scan on both collection and wishlist, confirm auto-update and no modal title flicker.
