Report #38859

[architecture] Routing tasks to specialized agents unconditionally, causing unnecessary handoffs and context loss

Implement confidence scoring or explicit fallback triggers; only hand off to another agent when the primary agent's confidence drops below a threshold or a specific classification triggers.

Journey Context:
Naive supervisor routing delegates everything, creating a bottleneck and losing the rich context the primary agent already built. Handoffs are expensive due to serialization and deserialization of context. Confidence-aware routing keeps the context local until a true capability boundary is hit, minimizing latency and error propagation.
