Dispute letter for a supplier invoice that does not match the PO

The request

The task request supplied to the adapter, alongside the workspace below. Runtime instructions, authorized tools and skills also affect the system. Containerized runs withhold host-side references; local mode is not an isolation boundary.

The Cascade invoice for our last welding supplies order doesn't match what we ordered and received. Please write the dispute letter to their AR team; Emily's note says what goes in it. Save it as dispute.md.
