[architecture] Low-confidence agent outputs cascading through multi-agent pipeline

Implement Bayesian confidence scoring that updates uncertainty estimates at each agent handoff; hardcode escalation triggers to human reviewers when cumulative confidence drops below calibrated thresholds.

Journey Context:
Simple thresholding fails to account for uncertainty accumulation across agents. Bayesian approaches track confidence degradation through chains, triggering human review when cumulative uncertainty exceeds risk tolerance. Static thresholds ignore the compounding uncertainty inherent in multi-agent systems, leading to over-reliance on degraded outputs.
