Report #12081

[architecture] Misrouting tasks to specialized agents based on static keyword matching or overconfident LLM routing

Have the router agent output a structured confidence score alongside the routing decision; if confidence is below a threshold, route to a generalist agent or prompt the user for clarification instead of forcing a specialist handoff.

Journey Context:
Hard routing to specialized agents fails on ambiguous edge cases. A specialist agent receiving a poorly matched query will often hallucinate or fail silently because it tries to force its specialized tools onto an inappropriate problem. Confidence-aware routing adds a necessary safety valve, acknowledging the inherent uncertainty in intent classification.
