Humanoid loco-manipulation benefits from one controller to coordinate locomotion, arm movements, and fall recovery. These behaviors are difficult to learn together from scratch because they require different skills and objectives. We present HANDOFF, a training architecture that distills motion-tracking, locomotion, and recovery teachers into one 29-DoF policy, using context-conditioned KL losses over separate action slices and a soft mixture of experts. Commanded velocity continuously blends body supervision, while a binary recovery flag assigns the full action to the recovery teacher. The resulting controller takes a compact 10-D task-space command rather than a dense kinematic stream and does not switch policies at runtime. On the Unitree G1, HANDOFF matches state-of-the-art velocity tracking and obtains the largest robust manipulation workspace in a matched adapted-interface benchmark. The same controller executes natural-language-driven, multi-stage loco-manipulation tasks in simulation and hardware experiments without further data collection or fine-tuning.
