Prompt

Remix
A customer reported [ISSUE]. The attached screenshot shows the error or internal note.

What we know: [CAUSE IF KNOWN, WHO'S AFFECTED, WORKAROUND, EXPECTED FIX TIME OR "UNKNOWN"].

Write a reply that:
- acknowledges the problem without blaming the customer
- explains what's happening in one or two plain sentences
- gives the workaround as numbered steps
- is honest about timing without promising a date we don't have
- ends with when they'll hear from us next
