Report #17143

[architecture] Deterministic intent routing sends ambiguous queries to the wrong specialist agent, causing hallucination or failure

Route based on the executing agent's self-reported confidence or embedding similarity, falling back to a generalist agent if confidence is below threshold.

Journey Context:
Standard intent classification \(like a router LLM\) is brittle. If it routes a DB query to a web search agent, the search agent might try to answer it anyway. By having the specialist evaluate its own ability to handle the task \(or measuring vector distance to its domain\), you prevent forced errors. The generalist acts as a safety net.
