mavend: name the service that is down, and never read an empty list (V-521)

Two caller-side halves of the same review.

«экосистема недоступна» named nothing. Nexus, Praxis and Hexis fail
independently, and every one of the six call sites already knew which one it was
talking to — it writes that name into the trace on the line above. So eco_down
and eco_denied now take {name}, and he hears which service refused him.

The list entries are single-variant and placeholder-only, so an empty list has
no shorter wording to fall back on: attention_list would render as its own label
and a colon. Both Praxis readers checked the response length and neither checked
what survived formatting, so an item with no title counted toward a list it
could not appear in. They skip the untitled item and fall to the _none entry
when nothing is left.

The ecosystem tests asserted the substring "выполнена", which was a literal out
of the act file that review has now reworded. Seventeen sites go through actRan,
which asks the file.
