Make the prompt-tree legend reflect kinds actually present

The legend advertised correction, scope change, and abandoned symbols on
every render, even when the tree contained none, promising structure the
artifact lacked. Build the legend from the kinds (and abandoned status)
actually present in the rendered nodes.
