Recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, such as $π_{0.5}$, have demonstrated impressive generalization capabilities by scaling behavior cloning across massive datasets. However, these models frequently suffer from distributional convergence, a phenomenon where the policy regresses to "safe" but suboptimal mean behaviors due to mode averaging in the training data. This often results in generic grasp strategies, Convergent Defaults, that fail in constrained or long-tail scenarios. In this work, we propose a novel framework to identify and correct these behaviors without parameter updates. We introduce a three-stage methodology: (1) Probing for Defaults, identifying task-specific mode collapse; (2) Diagnostic Root Cause Analysis, utilizing the VLA's latent reasoning capabilities to verbalize the logic behind suboptimal actions; and (3) Structured Guidance Injection, where concrete, distinct alternatives are encoded into reusable "Lens Prompts" that shift the sampling distribution. We validate this approach using $π_{0.5}$ in ManiSkill3 simulation environments. We hypothesize that our method outperforms vanilla $π_{0.5}$ and standard Chain-of-Thought prompting by effectively breaking convergent defaults in complex manipulation tasks.
