Workshop-first paper hits ICLR novelty complaints: reframe as independent verification?

A submission dilemma: paper A was published at a workshop, collab paper B went to arXiv, and ICLR reviewers now call A's novelty claims redundant with B — even though those parts were in the workshop version and landed in B because of the authors. Suggested approach: reframe A as an independent verification in a different setting and hope reviewers recognize solid empirical work.
