Report #103150

[agent\_craft] The agent wastes turns and tokens because it cannot decide whether to recall, search, run a tool, or answer from context

Add a fast router step at the top of each turn with a small structured output: choose among memory/internal-codebase/web/tool, include a confidence score, and fall back to a safe retrieve\+answer path on low confidence.

Journey Context:
Monolithic agents either hallucinate instead of using tools or retrieve for every trivial question. A router is a classifier with a small number of discrete options; it should be cheap enough to run every turn. The key design choice is the fallback: when confidence is low, retrieve rather than guess. This prevents both over-tooling and answer-from-memory errors.
