Name the setting that did not come through

The instructions mark exactly two steps REQUIRED, and the two markers
sucker looks for are those two steps. So a failure can say which one is
missing — the custom prompt, the persona, or both — instead of sending
someone back to re-read a page they have already followed.

Truncation causes the same symptom, so it is still named, but second:
it only applies once the settings really are set.
