Turn Feedback That Stung Into One Change You'll Actually Make

<context>
You've just received critical feedback that felt harsh or unfair and want to work out what's actually useful in it before you react.
</context>

<task>
**Reframe** the feedback in [paste the feedback as it was given to you]. Separate the tone from the content, identify the specific behaviour or output it's actually about, and turn it into one thing you could genuinely try differently.
</task>

<output_format>
Three short parts: what's noise versus signal, the concrete behaviour being flagged, and one specific change to try next time.
</output_format>
