## Description
Test fixtures use non-deterministic random values, which can make test failures harder to reproduce:
- `test/support/fixtures/music_library/records.ex:74``Enum.random(@artists)`
- `test/support/fixtures/music_library/records.ex:86``Enum.take_random(@genres, :rand.uniform(3))`
- `test/support/fixtures/music_library/records.ex:91``Enum.random(@titles)`
- `test/support/fixtures/music_library/records.ex:93``Enum.random(Record.formats())`
- `test/support/fixtures/music_library/records.ex:95``Enum.random(1969..2024)`
- `test/support/fixtures/scrobbled_tracks_fixtures.ex:16``Enum.random(0..86_400)`
Previously tracked in #85 (closed) but the randomness remains.
## Expected behavior
Use deterministic sequences (e.g., based on `System.unique_integer`) or seeded randomness for reproducible tests.
## Source
From technical debt audit (2026-03-12). Residual from #85.
