Human observers provide complementary signals, as unexpected robot behavior can trigger rapid vocal, facial, or verbal reactions before failure is completed. We introduce SocialVLA, a local, policy-agnostic social perception gateway that converts spontaneous human reactions into runtime intervention signals for VLA manipulation. SocialVLA combines causal paralinguistic audio detection, visual reaction recognition, explicit stop phrases, and robot-relevance estimation. An asynchronous first-event fusion mechanism triggers a VLA hold from the earliest sufficiently confident signal, while a separate speech channel captures verbal corrections for participant-directed continuation, restart, or instruction revision. We evaluate SocialVLA on physical Unitree G1 manipulation using 15 participants, with 238 annotated intervention-worthy episodes and 1.038 h of non-intervention behavior. Frozen offline replay achieves 54.6% recall and 69.5% precision, while unfiltered audio-video fusion reaches 64.3% recall. Relevance estimation reduces false-stop episodes from 100 to 57 and increases precision from 60.5% to 69.8%. In prospective deployment on an unseen 16th participant, the frozen system achieves 59.5% recall and 91.7% precision. Median detector-to-fusion latency is 47.9 ms, VLA-gate-to-physical-hold latency is 336 ms, and reaction-onset-to-hold latency is 1.021 s. These results demonstrate a complete local pathway from spontaneous social reaction to physical VLA interruption and participant-directed recovery.
