## Description
<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
_GitHub: created 2026-04-16 · updated 2026-04-20 · closed 2026-04-20_
## Summary
Project convention: "Assert specific values, not just shape. Wildcard matches (`_`) in assertions are a signal the test is too vague." Several test files violate this.
## Evidence
### Bare `assert {:ok, _} = ...` (9 instances in one file)
`test/music_library/scrobble_activity_test.exs`: lines `43, 48, 96, 101, 154, 161, 223, 251, 272`
The context's entire job is to shape Last.fm payloads correctly, yet the tests don't inspect the returned struct's fields.
### `assert X != nil` (9 sites, 4 files)
- `test/music_library/worker/prune_assets_test.exs:14, 26, 38`
- `test/music_library/worker/fetch_artist_info_test.exs:104, 105`
- `test/music_library/barcode_scan_test.exs:23, 63, 100`
- `test/music_library/worker/fetch_artist_image_test.exs:28`
### Other `{:ok, _}` (selected)
- `test/music_library/assets_test.exs:29, 30`
- `test/music_library/records/similarity_test.exs:218, 229`
- `test/music_library/chats_test.exs:162, 203`
## Fix
For each site, replace with an assertion that pins a specific value the function is responsible for producing.
## Acceptance Criteria
<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
- `scrobble_activity_test.exs` tests assert specific struct fields on each `{:ok, _}` site
- No `assert X != nil` in worker test files (replace with value assertion)
- Suite still passes
