Use to operate under the reality that ITCS has no rebuttal or author-response phase — pre-empting reviewer objections inside the submission, then handling the post-decision situation (camera-ready window on accept, or rerouting and reusing the reviews on reject) since there is no revise-and-resubmit.

**without any input from you** in between (see
[`itcs-review-process`](../itcs-review-process/SKILL.md)). There is also **no Major Revision** and
no revise-and-resubmit. So "author response" at ITCS is not a rebuttal-writing task — it is
(1) doing the rebuttal's *work* inside the submission, before the deadline, and (2) handling the
