Report #12811

[architecture] Hardcoded orchestrator routing fails when task boundaries are ambiguous or shift

Implement confidence-aware routing where agents bid on tasks with a confidence score, or use semantic routing \(embedding task \+ agent descriptions\) to dynamically assign tasks.

Journey Context:
Static routing \(if X then Agent Y\) is brittle when user requests span domains. Contract-net protocol \(bidding\) or semantic routing allows dynamic allocation. Tradeoff: Bidding adds an LLM call per agent per task \(latency/cost\), but semantic routing via embeddings is fast and cheap while remaining flexible.
