SFF adapts a robot failure monitor after each episode, updating its final readout from the outcome while keeping feature processing fixed and adjusting the alarm threshold only after successes. On SmolVLA in LIBERO-10, SFF reached within-task AUROC 0.736 versus 0.707 for a frozen monitor. Across five test suites, it outperformed the frozen monitor on four; real-robot evidence came from replays, not live deployment.
