Do not draft the response before the revised theorems, simulations, and code are actually done — promised fixes that are not yet real read as evasive to this referee pool.
Dear Editor / [Co-editor],
We thank you and the referees for [specific, sincere]. The main changes are:
(1) [most important fix — e.g., closed the gap in the proof of Theorem 2],
(2) [added the limiting-distribution / uniform result requested],
(3) [added Monte Carlo design X showing finite-sample size control].
All changes are marked in the revision; new proofs are in Supplemental Material §...
