The wrapper monitors a fixed policy for stalled progress, briefly steers it using imagined actions, then returns control. It learns a policy-conditioned liveness value from nominal-policy rollouts and uses that signal to guide planning in a world model. In perturbed LIBERO-Goal evaluations, it raises mean success across ten tasks from 72.6% to 81.5%, but interventions can disrupt successful runs.
