ML-14	Replace Process.sleep with :sys.get_state in error_notifier_test.exs	Done		2026-04-20 08:50			https://github.com/cloud8421/music_library/issues/169	low

Summary

Five Process.sleep(50) calls in test/error_tracker/error_notifier_test.exs wait for a GenServer to process a telemetry event before assert_email_sent. The sleeps are redundant and are the only timing-based waits in the suite.

Evidence

test/error_tracker/error_notifier_test.exs lines: :126, :136, :155, :164, :183

Each call is after :telemetry.execute/3, waiting for the ErrorTracker.ErrorNotifier GenServer to process the cast and call the mailer.

Fix

Replace each Process.sleep(50) with :sys.get_state(ErrorTracker.ErrorNotifier) — a synchronous probe that blocks until the GenServer has drained its mailbox up to the current message. Deterministic and faster.

Acceptance Criteria

• Zero Process.sleep occurrences in test/
• Tests remain deterministic and pass under repeated runs

• #1 Zero Process.sleep occurrences in test/
• #2 Tests remain deterministic and pass under repeated runs
