Diagnose, Recover, Certify: Task Readiness under Hidden Dynamics Changes· 隐藏动态变化下的任务就绪诊断、恢复与认证
A deployed control policy can conceal consequential dynamics changes: an actuator may lose effectiveness without affecting the current task when the policy rarely excites it, despite being critical for a future task that has not yet been specified. We introduce task readiness under dormant dynamics drift, a decision problem that unifies active change diagnosis and post-change control recovery under a limited, task-agnostic interaction budget. An agent must identify whether and where local dynamics have changed, use a small number of informative interactions to characterize the change before downstream task identity is revealed, and subsequently provide each candidate task with either a recovered policy and a calibrated lower bound on its achievable return or an abstention decision to a saf
