Problem

After importing a library via the Import UI, the new library does not appear on the homepage until the server is restarted. The import progress page also provides no navigation after completion.

Solution

After the import pipeline completes, trigger a re-export of the newly imported books so they appear on the homepage immediately
Add a "View Libraries" link/button on the import progress page after completion

Context

The import pipeline already writes the book TOML to books_dir and uploads embeddings. The missing step is calling export_books_for_serving() (or a lighter per-namespace variant) at the end of the import handler so the in-memory book list is refreshed.
