Use when responding to an Annals of Mathematics referee report — revising the manuscript to close gaps or strengthen results and writing a point-by-point reply. Drafts the revision and response after the text is fixed; does not invent significance the result lacks (see anmath-scope-fit).

Prompt

We need to respond to a peer review on our PDE paper. The reviewer questioned the proof of Lemma 4.1 and requested extra exposition in the introduction. I want to make sure we handle this properly before writing the response text. Please lay out the revision strategy and output a status summary detailing: total report comments categorized by type, specific mathematical fixes applied, whether theorem statements changed, validation of the whole proof chain, location-tagged replies, diff file status, and recommended next steps.

Revision and Response (anmath-revision)

When to trigger

A referee report has arrived (revision requested, or queries to address)
A referee found a gap, a questionable step, or a missing citation
You need to revise the manuscript and write a point-by-point reply
A correction is needed and you must show exactly what changed

Math reviews are slow and thorough. A report may identify a genuine gap; the right response is to fix the mathematics first, then explain — never to argue a gap away.

Order of operations

Fix the text first. Resolve every gap, error, or imprecision in the manuscript before drafting a single line of reply. The reply describes changes that already exist.
Triage the report. Classify each point: (a) genuine gap/error — must fix; (b) request for clarification — add exposition; (c) disagreement — respond with a precise mathematical argument, respectfully.
Verify the fix does not break anything. A repaired step must be re-checked against the whole argument (re-run the self-adversarial pass from anmath-referee-strategy).
Then write the reply, point by point, pointing to exact locations in the revision.

Point-by-point reply structure

Element	Content
Opening	Brief thanks; summary of the main changes
Each point	Quote the referee remark, then state the change and where it appears (section/line/Lemma)
Gaps/errors	Acknowledge plainly, give the corrected argument, point to the new text
Disagreements	A precise, courteous mathematical rebuttal; concede where the referee is right
Marked-up version	Provide a `latexdiff` PDF so changes are easy to verify

Handling a real gap

If the gap is fixable, fix it fully and show the new argument; do not paper over it.
If the fix weakens the theorem (e.g. an extra hypothesis is needed), state the new, correct theorem honestly and explain the change — a correct weaker result beats a wrong strong one.
If the gap is not fixable, the honest course may be withdrawal or a substantially
