Bilevel optimization (BLO) is fundamental to hierarchical decision-making but suffers from critical instability under heavy-tailed stochastic noise. Existing variance-reduction techniques typically rely on myopic magnitude checks, which fail to distinguish informative geometric signals from impulsive outliers.
