Say what actually went wrong

Every failure produced the same reply: read the directions, and check your
context size. For a card Janitor truncated that was fair. For a request
shape the user never chose, or for a bug in sucker, it blamed them for
something they could not have done anything about — and sent them back to
directions they had already followed.

Failures that can be explained now explain themselves: no card in the
request, no greeting in the chat, a card that arrived truncated (which
keeps the context-size advice, since that is where it belongs), and a
request with nothing in it. Anything else is a bug nobody anticipated, so
the reply says as much, says it is not the user's fault, and asks them to
DM @lyseverian on Discord — an unexplained failure nobody reports never
gets fixed. Internals are never echoed back.

SuckerError is recognised by name as well as by identity, because Next can
bundle a module into more than one chunk and a mismatched class would
quietly send every explained error down the unknown-bug path.

### Changelog
- 2.5: Unread dot on the Changelog button. Fixed extraction for users whose Janitor sends a request without the blank turn before the first message — sucker read the parts by position rather than by role, so for them it read the wrong ones and errored. Now resolved by role, with tests for both shapes.
- 2.5: Real error messages instead of one blanket "dingus" reply; unexplained failures now ask you to DM @lyseverian. Unread dot on the Changelog button. Fixed extraction for users whose Janitor sends a request without the blank turn before the first message — sucker read the parts by position rather than by role, so for them it read the wrong ones and errored. Now resolved by role, with tests for both shapes.
- 2.4: CSS editor for Janitor profiles. New banner links to the live-preview editor at tools.from-avalon.com/janitor-profile-maker.
- 2.3: ECHO. Put ECHO: anywhere in a message and sucker repeats whatever comes after it in the reply — for triggering char-side script and lorebook keywords.
- 2.2: Added support for directly inputting webp file names or character image links when creating PNG character cards
