The local Wilsonian effective action superpotential receives no perturbative corrections when supersymmetry is preserved, an infrared cutoff is retained and the same elementary fields are kept. The spurion selection rule for perturbative non-renormalization gives a holomorphy proof. The Kähler potential and physical couplings after wave-function renormalization can change; genuine nonperturbative superpotential terms require a separate analysis.
