## Summary

The paper proposes a program-level adversarial co-adaptive self-play framework that lets coding agents generate attacks and defenses based on opponent code and task feedback, without model fine-tuning. The framework provides external program interfaces for autonomous driving and SDK-level defense interfaces for humanoid robot locomotion; two eight-generation case studies show that the driving defender introduced direct-actuation recovery, while the humanoid defender revised incoming-state validation. These responses provided only local task recovery and did not establish sustained robustness.
