You're right; this iteration was ill-thought-out. I'll try to put
myself in my reviewer's shoes before submitting code next time, so
that I don't waste effort re-rolling unnecessarily.

Oops, I'll rebase.
I'll trace all the code paths carefully and include a summary of my
learnings in the next iteration.
