+(as opposed to compiled executables). However, with the introduction of the
+``AT_EXECVE_CHECK`` flag (:doc:`AT_EXECVE_CHECK </userspace-api/check_exec>`),
+interpreters can use it to signal the kernel that a script file will be executed,
+and request the kernel to perform LSM security checks on it.
+
+IPE's EXECUTE operation enforcement differs between compiled executables and
+interpreted scripts: For compiled executables, enforcement is triggered
+automatically by the kernel during ``execve()``, ``execveat()``, ``mmap()``
+and ``mprotect()`` syscalls when loading executable content. For interpreted
+scripts, enforcement requires explicit interpreter integration using
+``execveat()`` with ``AT_EXECVE_CHECK`` flag. Unlike exec syscalls that IPE
+intercepts during the execution process, this mechanism needs the interpreter
+to take the initiative, and existing interpreters won't be automatically
+supported unless the signal call is added.
