Humanoid locomotion across complex terrain demands forward-looking exteroception to anticipate obstacles, yet this signal is unreliable in real-world deployment, failing partially and intermittently. Existing perceptive policies often assume that depth observations remain clean and in-distribution, while recent attempts to unify perceptive and blind control typically route or switch between separate sub-policies, leaving recoverable information in partially corrupted depth unexploited. We instead propose CAP, a single-stage humanoid locomotion policy that recovers this signal with a perceptive world-model encoder trained as a learned denoiser to reconstruct clean depth from a corrupted input, together with a co-active proprioceptive variational encoder that supplies depth-free body-state information. A coupled training recipe pairs a depth-noise curriculum on the world-model input with world-model feature dropout on the policy-facing latent, exposing the policy to failures across the entire perception-quality spectrum. In simulation, CAP matches or improves upon perceptive baselines when depth remains informative, and degrades more smoothly than a binary-switching baseline as perception worsens. On the Unitree G1, controlled trials and indoor-outdoor deployments demonstrate perception-robust locomotion under intermittent occlusion, real-sensor corruption, and outdoor depth artifacts.

Multimodal Large Language Models have demonstrated impressive video understanding, yet their ability to reason over long-form narratives is often masked by visual-centric evaluations and inefficient context processing. Existing benchmarks over-rely on visual heuristics while marginalizing auditory cues, effectively reducing models to"silent observers"that bypass genuine cross-modal reasoning. Moreover, standard dense sampling creates an evidence-context trade-off: increasing frames to capture evidence inevitably leads to attention distraction and token explosion. To bridge these gaps, we present Video-HolmesV2, a novel benchmark designed for Deep Audio-Visual Coupling. Unlike previous works, it enforces an Evidence-Based Evaluation, requiring models to justify answers with precise spatio-temporal audio-visual evidence, thereby reducing confounding effects of guessing and hallucinated evidence. To support this, we introduce: (1) a Multi-Model Cross-Verification pipeline to ensure task rigor; (2) a Spatio-temporal Evidence-Aware Metric for fine-grained calibration. Furthermore, we propose an Audio-Text Guided Token Compression framework. By fusing task intent with auditory anchors, our method distills high-value reasoning cues to mitigate long-context noise. In our evaluation, even strong proprietary models achieve below 60% accuracy, while our approach outperforms comparable open-source omni-models.
