I agree that if you want to use execv directly to execute a terminal
command, if arg[0] is something like "emacs -nw", error will be
reported:"No such file or directory". But by wrapping a layer of
"sh" "-c", The program name 'emacs' in 'emacs -nw' can be
found and executed normally.

Exactly.
Each .command/.cmd willl executes this 'beforeCLI' operation  once,
I use ifexists='add' here just for seeing the effect, In general, we will
use ifexists='replace'.

I can see the benefits of this.
