Is the word choice of immediately problematic here? Did I paint myself into a corner? A simple word change could fix this

Yes. It really is that simple.

Look, I get why folks are pissed off at me here, it's a reasonable response to dickish rules lawyers, which I am being. There are many comments about how my expectations are unreasonable, but those expectations come directly from the use of the word "immediately". Wording such as "as quickly as we can" would set different expectations than "immediately"

I will continue to irritate folks by pointing out the ableism present in the arguments that it is obvious that "as quickly as we can" is implied by the current wording. Certain cognitive disabilities - notably and relevant to this situation, autism - impact many peoples' ability to see, let alone interpret, subtext.
