End-to-end vision-language navigation (VLN) with causal vision-language models can map instructions and egocentric observations directly to actions, but standard behavior cloning supervises only the next action and does not explicitly train the policy state to be predictive of future visual outcomes. We first ask a diagnostic question: if the policy is given an expert-trajectory future image as privileged input at training and testing time, is that additional visual evidence useful for choosing the current action? (These expert-trajectory future images are unavailable at test time in real depl
