Photo on my phone when a slug is found

Third step of the slug project: the detector should not just notice something, it should tell me.

When a slug is recognised, our smart home sends a push message to my phone with the photo attached. So I can see what triggered it instead of trusting a bare alert.

That picture also serves a second purpose. It shows me quickly when the recognition got it wrong, which is exactly what I need at this stage.
