What

The instructions used when setting up a custom status line now say to strip trailing $ or > characters when importing your shell prompt, and to ask you what you want if no shell prompt is found and you gave no instructions.

Evidence

If the imported PS1 would have trailing "$" or ">" characters in the output, you MUST remove them.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
