 ## Execution Requirements
 
+### System Optimization
+
+**Hard Requirement**: Call binaries directly in `functions.shell`, always set `workdir`, and avoid shell wrappers such as `bash -lc`, `sh -lc`, `zsh -lc`, `cmd /c`, `pwsh.exe -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command`, and `powershell.exe -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command`.
+
+**Text Editing Priority**: Use the `apply_patch` tool for all routine text edits; fall back to `sed` for single-line substitutions only if `apply_patch` is unavailable, and avoid `python` editing scripts unless both options fail.
+
+**`apply_patch` Usage**: Invoke `apply_patch` with the patch payload as the second element in the command array (no shell-style flags). Provide `workdir` and, when helpful, a short `justification` alongside the command.
+
+**Example invocation**:
+```json
+{
+  "command": ["apply_patch", "*** Begin Patch\n*** Update File: path/to/file\n@@\n- old\n+ new\n*** End Patch\n"],
+  "workdir": "<workdir>",
+  "justification": "Brief reason for the change"
+}
+```
+
+**Windows UTF-8 Encoding**: Before executing commands on Windows systems, ensure proper UTF-8 encoding by running:
+```powershell
+[Console]::InputEncoding  = [Text.UTF8Encoding]::new($false)
+[Console]::OutputEncoding = [Text.UTF8Encoding]::new($false)
+chcp 65001 > $null
+```
