Start with the user story and planning notes in this issue; no implementation files, tests, or entry points are identified. Clarify how authorized images are selected, how species, counts, confidence, and model/version provenance are represented, and how AI output remains distinct from human confirmation. Done should be an agreed, implementable requirement.
