Description

A deployment may be forbidden because we check the validity of the generated promises with cf-check.
But when that check is wrong, nothing useful is reported in the deployment box, and so the user does not have any way to correct what is wrong.

That seems almost a blocker for the final for me, because if not corrected, that imply that user will need a deep knowledge of cfengine and what could have been wrong with the last modification they did to resolve that kind of erroneous deployment. (ex: the use of a "\" in a directive property may lead to such errors, or #2041).

That seems technically OK.
Jon, do you want to look at the look'n'feel to see if the result is OK ?
Perhaps I would like to have a more obvious thing saying that "technical details" is clickable.

You can see an error by putting a " (double quote) in a MOTD directive message. The directive must be applied to at least one node.

Looks good to me! Feel free to improve the UI if you like, but I think that should be in a different ticket now.
