Large language model agents increasingly undertake long-horizon tasks in complex environments characterized by fragmented evidence, partially completed states, and dependencies across resources and artifacts. Existing agents may satisfy individual requirements while failing to maintain these relationships, producing locally correct but incomplete outcomes. These failures arise because task completion depends on relationships among environmental evidence, consequential decisions, and required effects. To address this completion gap, we propose Interlock, a framework for task synthesis that represents each task as a typed completion graph. Grounding edges connect public evidence to decisions, coupling hyperedges impose joint constraints across components, and realization edges connect decisions to all required downstream effects. Interlock compiles this graph into a resettable workspace, a public request, and an evaluation rubric. A source-coverage review checks whether the original requirements survive generation, while a public-input review checks whether the rubric is supported by the materials available to the solver. An agent-as-judge inspects execution artifacts and runs verification scripts, retaining trajectories judged to satisfy all mandatory requirements. To evaluate training utility, we fine-tune two Qwen3.6 backbones on their own accepted trajectories. Across the two backbones, training improves AutomationBench task pass rates by 4.00-4.50 percentage points, JobBench weighted scores by 3.20-6.64 points, and Harvey LAB criterion pass rates by 3.89-4.16 percentage points. These results demonstrate the training utility of the synthesized experience across external task environments.

Reliable robotic manipulation requires timely intervention to correct emerging deviations and restore progress after execution errors. However, recovery methods based on repeated vision-language reasoning or iterative online optimization can incur substantial latency, delaying intervention. To address these challenges, we introduce RESETTLE(Robotic rEcovery through diSagrEement-Triggered reTrievaL and Efficient Corrective Control), a model-agnostic framework that provides computationally efficient recovery at the action-execution interface of frozen robot policies. RESETTLE triggers recovery when two action proposals independently sampled under identical conditioning persistently disagree. It retrieves a same-task demonstration reference using an adapted V-JEPA encoder and combines a state-servo prior with a guarded visual residual to execute one corrective action without online trajectory optimization or additional vision-language reasoning, then returns control to the base policy. Across six base policies in simulation, RESETTLE achieves up to 8.70%, 6.28%, and 6.83% absolute success-rate gains on LIBERO-Plus, Meta-World, and RoboCasa Tabletop, respectively, with further improvements on four real-world tasks using two policies. In QwenPI-based comparisons, its monitoring-and-recovery computation latency is 74.04%--93.57% lower than VoLoAgent's monitoring-and-planning latency for grasp and place tool calls. It also raises Harness VLA's LIBERO-Pro Swap success from 42% to 50%, demonstrating compatibility with high-level agentic planning. Code available at: https://github.com/JIA-Lab-research/RESETTLE
