IMO, instead of using a prompt to add per-subsystem instructions is a token waste and it is prone to errors, as LLMs might fall adding it or and modifying it. A much simpler approach would be to have something like this: https://github.com/sashiko-dev/sashiko/pull/364 (build-tested only) adding a body prefix on the top of the e-mails, set via sashiko.dev email policy.
