A good deal of what you told me over coffee is about to become how a department actually works, which is the right outcome for everyone. Congratulations, genuinely.”
“Congratulations on your promotion. Having benefited from your guidance directly, I can say the judgement being recognized here is real and consistent rather than occasional. I wish you well in the expanded role.”

“Congratulations. Nobody who has been mentored by you will be remotely surprised.”
“Congratulations. Thoroughly deserved, and about time somebody noticed.”
“Congratulations on the promotion and commiserations to your calendar, which I assume is now entirely unbookable. I will take my thirty minutes a month in whatever form you can manage.”
