Draft a customer support reply.

CUSTOMER MESSAGE:
"""
[PASTE]
"""

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED (our side): [THE FACTS, INCLUDING IF WE WERE AT FAULT]
WHAT I CAN OFFER: [REFUND / REPLACEMENT / CREDIT / FIX / NOTHING]
WHAT I CANNOT DO: [CONSTRAINTS]
CHANNEL: [email / chat / public review reply]

Write the reply so that it:
- Opens by naming their specific problem in their own words, not with an apology template
- States plainly whether we got it wrong. If we did, say so without hedging - no 'we are sorry you feel'
- Explains what happened only if it helps them, not to defend us. One sentence maximum.
- Gives the resolution and the timeline as a concrete date, not 'as soon as possible'
- States clearly what we cannot do, once, without repeating it
- Ends with the single next step and who takes it

Rules:
- Under 150 words for chat, under 200 for email
- No 'we value your feedback', 'we apologise for any inconvenience', 'rest assured', 'kindly'
- Do not ask them to repeat information they already gave
- If we were not at fault, do not apologise for the outcome - acknowledge the frustration and move to the fix

Also give me: the one sentence in my draft most likely to make them angrier, and why.
