TONE

DELIVER: a full reply that acknowledges the issue, answers clearly, states the next step and timeline, and ends warmly; a shorter version for chat; and a calmer de-escalation variant for a frustrated customer. Be honest about what you can and can't do — never over-promise.
```

Tip: give it your real policy constraints so it never promises something you can't deliver.
