gui: Warn the checksum completer, not just the recoverer

+different people reach it. If you are filling in the last squares of a backup you
+are making by hand, it tells you to check every character against what you wrote,

+**Never erase a card's last characters to make it check out.** A card that fails
+its check is telling you something is wrong. Replacing the ending hides that
+mistake inside a result that now looks valid, and you lose the one signal that

+window work from that.
 
 If more than one repair fits, the window shows none of them. Check the card again.
