+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+
+The Release component (lib/music_library_web/components/release.ex:82) uses `send(self(), {tag, release})` where `tag` is a dynamic assign (`on_release_loaded`). While correctly handled today, if a future consumer sets a non-atom tag, pattern matching in `handle_info` would fail silently since clauses match on atoms like `:release_loaded`.
+
+**Fix:** Change to `send(self(), {__MODULE__, {:loaded, release}})` with a static atom, making the message self-documenting and type-safe.
+
+**Source:** Audit doc-24 (Phase 1), Recommendation #1.
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
+
+- [ ] #1 Release component sends {**MODULE**, {:loaded, release}} instead of {tag, release}
+- [ ] #2 ScrobbleLive.ReleaseShow handle_info updated to match new message shape
+- [ ] #3 CollectionLive.Show still works correctly (no message sent when on_release_loaded is nil)
