Report #1329

[architecture] Hard-coded intent classification routes tasks to specialized agents that lack the broader context to complete the task

Implement confidence-aware routing where the orchestrator attempts the task first, and only delegates to a sub-agent if it detects a specific capability gap, passing the exact context needed.

Journey Context:
Standard router patterns use an LLM to classify the intent and route to an agent upfront. If the classifier is wrong, the specialized agent fails because it only knows its narrow domain and lacks the original full context. Alternatively, an orchestrator can try to solve it, and if it fails \(e.g., tool not found\), it delegates. Tradeoff: adds a step to the pipeline, but drastically reduces misrouting and context-stripping failures.
