A stated acknowledgement deadline creates a measurable response commitment, while the 'as soon as we are able' standard governs remediation timing without fixing a specific deadline.
Interpretive note: 'As soon as we are able' is an indefinite standard; it preserves a commitment without a fixed timeline, which is a meaningful qualifier retained in the canonical claim.
Readers who submit vulnerability reports can expect an acknowledgement within 5 business days; remediation timing is not fixed but is committed to occur as soon as Cursor is able.
