Import notification from several months ago

Issue: on 3/20/24 I got a notification letting me know the book I tried to add via import was complete. I tried to add this book probably 3-5 months ago and am just now getting the notice after I've already manually added the book a while back, had it on my shelves, etc.

short term Rec: if there's no immediate match, or if it doesn't happen within a few days, maybe send a notification that's like "we couldn't find this book, but will keep searching and let you know if it gets added!" so it's less jarring.

long term rec: any way to track the history of books you've tried to import via ISBN / title would be great so it's easier to remember and see where they're at.

It's meant to be 8 hours tops, but some of the requests get stuck and we're working on figuring out why. We might eventually expose the import requests so you can see the status, but really the focus is on making it happen immediately, or no longer than a few hours, if you even need to do a request at all.
