RECTOR: Priority-Aware Rule-Based Reranking for Compliance-Aware Autonomous Driving Trajectory Selection
Autonomous driving stacks must pick one trajectory from a multi-modal candidate set; choosing by model confidence ignores safety, traffic-law, and comfort constraints. We present \textsc{RECTOR} (Rule-Enforced Constrained Trajectory Orchestrator), a post-generation reranking layer that scores candidates against a tiered rulebook (Safety~$\succ$~Legal~$\succ$~Road~$\succ$~Comfort) via differentiable proxies and a scene-conditioned applicability mechanism, then selects with a deterministic $\varepsilon$-lexicographic rule that preserves cross-tier priority by construction -- without retraining the predictor. On the Waymo Open Motion Dataset \texttt{validation\_interactive} split (43{,}219 augmented instances, $K{=}6$), under Protocol~B (28-rule proxy catalog, oracle applicability) rule-aware selection cuts Safety+Legal violations from 28.58\% to 20.42\% and Total from 40.32\% to 32.41\% versus confidence-only on the same candidates. A uniform-weight weighted-sum baseline matches binary compliance on this benchmark -- the empirical lift comes from rule-aware ranking, while the lexicographic guarantee is the structural differentiator no weight calibration can replicate. Under adversarial confidence corruption, confidence-only selection fails in 100\% of scenarios while both rule-aware selectors reject the injected mode in $\sim$96\%. All figures are proxy-evaluator results (not a safety certificate), open-loop, 5\,s horizon, U.S.\ rules, validation split.

CARVE: Certified Affordable Repair of Vetoed Maneuvers via Envelopes for Interactive Driving
Interactive driving exposes a failure mode that is easy to miss in rule-aware autonomous-driving stacks: a hard-rule margin can be negative for an ego candidate even though a small lawful accommodation by a non-priority …
Language Shapes Instruction Hierarchy Compliance in Multilingual LLMs
Instruction hierarchy (IH) requires models to prioritize instructions by source, ensuring that higher-priority instructions override lower-priority ones. Despite its importance for safe and controllable deployment, exist…
