Description
Bug report
Selecting “Add to Excalidraw” fails to import the chosen library contents.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a whiteboard.
- Pick a library and trigger “Add to Excalidraw”.
- Observe that no new shapes appear in the Excalidraw library panel.
Expected behaviour
Library items merge into the Excalidraw library so they are immediately available.
Actual behaviour
No items are added and no feedback is shown.
Notes
- Check both UI wiring and API payload.
- Add regression coverage once fixed.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure by selecting a library and using “Add to Excalidraw”, then trace the UI wiring and API payload for that action. Confirm that the selected library items are merged into the Excalidraw library and add regression coverage showing that the items appear in the library panel.
