updateInstructions
Updates the user-defined instructions that customize container behavior.
This method enables dynamic modification of user instructions without requiring container restart or reinitialization. Instructions influence all aspects of container behavior including learning preferences, prediction filtering, privacy controls, and user experience customization.
Instruction update process:
Validation: Verify instruction syntax and compatibility with current system
Conflict resolution: Handle conflicting instructions using priority rules
Component notification: Distribute updated instructions to all container components
Immediate application: Apply new instructions to ongoing operations
Persistence: Save updated instructions for future container sessions
Dynamic instruction capabilities:
Learning preferences: Modify focus areas, learning rates, and pattern priorities
Prediction filters: Update confidence thresholds, suggestion types, and content filters
Privacy controls: Adjust data collection, retention, and usage policies
UI customization: Change presentation styles, notification preferences, and interaction modes
Performance tuning: Modify resource usage, scheduling, and optimization parameters
Instruction processing and application:
Real-time updates: New instructions take effect immediately for subsequent operations
Backward compatibility: Historical data interpretation may be affected by instruction changes
Component coordination: All container components receive and apply updated instructions
Validation feedback: Invalid instructions are rejected with detailed error information
Thread safety and concurrency:
Safe to call concurrently with other container operations
Atomic instruction updates prevent partial application of changes
Proper synchronization with ongoing learning and prediction operations
Consistent instruction state across all component interactions
Parameters
The updated list of KarlInstruction objects that define new behavior preferences and constraints. The complete list replaces any previously configured instructions, so include all desired instructions in each update call.

Throws
if any instruction is malformed or incompatible
if instruction conflicts cannot be resolved
if container is not properly initialized
