Report #11325

[architecture] Orchestrator routes tasks to specialized sub-agents blindly, resulting in cascading failures when the sub-agent lacks the specific knowledge

Require sub-agents to return a confidence score or explicit out-of-domain signal in their structured response, allowing the orchestrator to re-route or fall back.

Journey Context:
A specialized agent might try to answer a question outside its expertise just because it was routed there. Without a confidence/intent check, the orchestrator accepts the bad answer. By structuring the return schema to include confidence: float and domain\_match: boolean, the orchestrator can implement a feedback loop instead of failing silently.
